Tocowa, Panola County: Mineral Springs, a Historic Hotel, and a Forgotten Mississippi Resort Town

Appalachian Community Histories – Tocowa, Panola County: Mineral Springs, a Historic Hotel, and a Forgotten Mississippi Resort Town. In the wooded hills of southwestern Panola County, Mississippi, where the rolling bluffs descend toward the lowlands of the Mississippi Delta, there once stood a small town known for its mineral springs, country hotel, and reputation as a place of healing. The community was called Tocowa, although historical records also refer to the surrounding area as Tocowa Springs or Tocawa Springs Village. During the nineteenth century, its natural spring attracted visitors who believed that the water possessed medicinal properties, while the surrounding settlement developed into a small center of rural commerce, education, and community life.
