History[]

According to a few residences, who have lived in the community since incorporation, a group of landowners got together in thoughts of incorporating, back when the city of Belleville was a bustling town (due to the railroad that went through the town at the time). The city was wanting to acquire portions of the land that is now Corinth. The landowners, who did not want to be taxed city tax, filed to incorporate their land into what is now known as Corinth Arkansas.
