Panola County
County History and Geography
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.
Any names
