Eckles, seven miles northeast of Senatobia near Poagville, was settled when Frost Barrett bought several thousand acres of land in 1875. It was named later for the Eckles family. The Eckles Post Office was opened in 1886 and closed in 1906.
For a long time the area was known as Jessup's Landing. The first permanent settlement in this area was around 1777, when Joseph Eggleston moved from Wilton to escape British raiders. John W. Taylor moved from Charlton to Jessup's Landing around 1808 and helped organize the Town of Corinth in 1818.
