Bowers (1837-1916), a [[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] veteran who earlier printed the ''Carthage Banner''.]] Jonathon Anderson, a migrant from the United States and founder of Panola County, donated nearly 100 acres of land in the 1800s to get the county started.<ref>[https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hcp02 Handbook of Texas Online β PANOLA COUNTY<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Panola County was formed in 1846 from sections of Harrison and Shelby counties. Developed for cotton plantations, it was named after a Choctaw/[[Chickasaw]] word for cotton. In the antebellum years, planters used [[Slavery in the United States|enslaved African Americans]] as workers on their large plantations. After the Civil War, freedmen worked largely as [[tenant farmers]] and [[sharecroppers]] in this area.
