In the Piney Woods Region of east Texas, Panola County was formed in 1846 from Harrison and Shelby Counties. Its county seat, Carthage, is on US-96, about 25 miles south of I-20 and 170 miles east of Dallas. Panola is bordered by the Texas counties of Harrison, Rusk and Shelby, and the Louisiana Parishes of De Soto and Caddo.
