Garlandville was first settled in 1833 and is one of the oldest communities in Jasper County.[2] Garlandville was named for John Garland, a half-breed Choctaw who operated a tavern in the area. Prior to the American Civil War, Garlandville reached the most prosperous point in its history.[3]

Two companies of the Confederate States Army were raised in Garlandville: a Captain Chatfield's of the 20th Mississippi Infantry and a Captain Lopo's of the 37th Mississippi Infantry.[3]

During Grierson's Raid, the Union Army rode through Garlandville. One horse was killed and one soldier was seriously wounded when three shots were fired by home guard soldiers in Garlandville.[4]

After the Civil War ended, most of the merchants and citizens moved away from Garlandville and only a few small businesses remained.[3]

A post office operated under the name Garlandville from 1834 to 1953.[5]
