Downtown Corinth Historic District

The Downtown Corinth Historic District in Corinth, Mississippi is a 31-acre (13 ha) historic district.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993,[1] at which time it included the majority of Corinth's downtown commercial buildings.

The street plan of the area was laid out in 1855 by surveyors Houston Mitchell (1824-1877) and Hamilton Mask, who intended for the city to be named "Cross City".

The plan conformed to the rights-of-way granted to the Memphis & Charleston Railroad and the Mobile and Ohio Railroad lines; the downtown area evolved from c.1855 to c.1941.
