Corinth is an unincorporated community in Milam County, Texas, United States.
History
It was given the name Corinth after the biblical city of Corinth in Greece, which was colonized in 1847 by Germans and Czechs. Prior to the justice of the peace's office being relocated to Buckholts in 1892, Precinct Six's legal center was located in Corinth. The area was depicted on the 1941 county highway map as having a cemetery and a number of dispersed dwellings. On the county highway map from 1988, the town was only shown by a cemetery.
Geography
Corinth is located on Farm to Market Road 1915, 10 miles (16 km) west of Cameron in western Milam County.
Education
In 1903, Corinth had a school with two teachers and 97 students. It continued to operate in 1941. It joined the Buckholts Independent School District in 1950.
