Corinth is a small, quiet community in Panola County, Texas, in the United States. It's an "unincorporated community," which means it's a group of homes and buildings without its own formal town government. You can find Corinth about 16 miles (26 km) southwest of a larger town called Carthage, close to Texas State Highway 315.
A Look Back: Corinth's History
Corinth began to grow in the 1860s, a time when many new communities were forming in Texas. It developed around a local church, which became a central part of the community.
Early Days and Education
By the 1890s, Corinth was big enough to have its own school. This school helped educate the children of the community for many years. However, like many small rural schools, it eventually closed sometime after the 1930s.
Corinth Today
By the 1960s, Corinth had become a very small community. It mainly consisted of the original church, a cemetery where many early residents were laid to rest, and a few scattered homes. Today, it remains a quiet, unincorporated area, holding onto its history in Panola County.
