History
in a Pecan Shell
The name of Odesco was the town's intended name.
When a post office was requested, postal authorities named it Panola - for reasons
lost to history. The office was opened from 1891 to 1913.
By 1896 the
population was an encouraging 150, but since the town was basically a lumber town
- as the forest disappeared, the town declined.
The town is now what
is referred to as a dispersed community. | |
