Panola County, County in northern Mississippi, United States
Panola County extends over 1,826 square kilometers, with 54 square kilometers covered by water and the Tallahatchie River flowing through its territory.
The Mississippi State Legislature established Panola County on February 9, 1836, as one of twelve counties created from the Chickasaw Cession of 1832.
The name derives from the Choctaw language term for cotton, reflecting the agricultural heritage that shaped the development of this Mississippi region.
The county maintains two administrative centers, with the courthouse in Batesville at 151 Public Square and additional offices in Sardis at 215 Pocahontas Street.
The presence of two county seats, Batesville and Sardis, resulted from historical travel limitations caused by the Tallahatchie River's path through the territory.
