It is small, just 0.17 acres (0.069 ha), and is located about 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Nashville on Arkansas Highway 26.

Originally known as Wilton, the area was settled in the 1840s, with a post office established in 1849.

The town was renamed Corinth in 1885, after the local church (no longer extant) which stood next to the cemetery.

The area's population declined in the early 20th century, and the town was entirely taken over by peach orchards, leaving only the cemetery behind.

[2] The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
