"Panola County was established in 1836 and is one of the twelve large northern Mississippi counties created in that year out of the Chickasaw Cession of 1832. Located just east of the Mississippi Delta the Tallahatchie River runs through the county. The population is 34,707 and the county seats are Sardis and Batesville." ~ Panola County
"Panola County is a county located in the U.S. state of Mississippi. As of the 2010 census, the population was 34,707. Its county seats are Sardis and Batesville. Panola is a Cherokee word which means cotton."
" Two of the oldest settlements in the county were at Belmont and Panola, a few miles apart and located on opposite sides of the Tallahatchie River. For several years there was a spirited contest between these two towns to gain the county court of Panola County. With the advent of the Mississippi and Tennessee (now the Illinois Central railroad), Belmont was absorbed by Sardis, and Panola was absorbed by Batesville. The legislature authorized two judicial districts for the county, with Sardis designated as the seat of justice for the first judicial district, and Batesville for the second judicial district." ~ Wikipedia
