History

Originally included in the Moses Williams land grant, the location was settled by 1849 when the Antioch Cemetery's four trustees were granted land title. Early on, cotton was a significant local crop; but, once Charles H. "Honey" Smith founded the company in 1850, honey took center stage. The Antioch Baptist Church joined the Delta County Baptist Association in 1889. The following year saw the town's establishment. Maps from 1936 did not identify the location, although they did indicate a single company and a number of residences. The location included the church and a few dispersed homes in 1964. Antioch first appeared on maps in 1984 and had a population of 25 from 1970 through 2000. [2]
