Shellmound is an unincorporated community located in Leflore County, Mississippi, United States, located approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Greenwood and approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) southeast of Schlater near U.S. Highway 49E.

It is part of the Greenwood, Mississippi micropolitan area.

History

Shellmound is named for a nearby mound that had a large amount of shells on the surface.[2] The area was possibly the site of a battle between the Chakchiuma and allied Choctaw and Chickasaw.[3] Shellmound was founded as a landing on the Tallahatchie River and was one of the earliest settlements on the Tallahatchie. The community served as a distribution point for the area between the river and McNutt. In the late 1800s, Shellmound had four general stores, a doctor, and a population of 150.[4]

A post office operated under the name Shellmound from 1854 to 1921.[5]

Music

Shellmound is home to one of Leflore County's seven Mississippi Blues Trail markers (at Racetrack Plantation).[6]
