History

Hobo Station was named for a shanty built at a rural intersection where hitchhikers would wait for passing motorists. The community was once home to a grocery store, cotton gin, and grist mill. As of 2002, a convenience store sits at the site of the former grocery store.{{cite book|title=Prentiss County, Mississippi: History and Families|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9XeIIxdzZo0C&pg=PA15|year=2002|publisher=Turner Publishing Company|isbn=978-1-56311-784-8|page=15}}
