Magnolia was founded in 1856 by Ansel H. Prewett, a cotton planter and community leader, who sold the railroad a right-of-way, reportedly for one dollar, and laid out town lots from part of his plantation. In the early 1870s, while serving as temporary sheriff of Pike County, Prewett was killed by outlaws as he escorted a prisoner on the train. Magnolia is the county seat of Pike County.
