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.
