Corinth is a ghost town in Van Zandt County, Texas, United States. Corinth was located on Farm to Market Road 1255 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Canton. From 1848 to 1873, Corinth was a stagecoach stop between Marshall and Dallas. In 1888, a post office opened in the community under the name Hatton. After the post office closed in 1906, the community was renamed Corinth. Corinth had a school from 1890 to 1940. By 1981, all that remained of the community was its church, its cemetery, and some scattered homes.[1]
