RIVER HILL, TEXAS. River Hill, at the junction of U.S. Highway 79 and Farm Road 123, eight miles northeast of Carthage in northeastern Panola County, was established before 1900. In the mid-1930s the community had several businesses, a church, a school, and a number of houses. After World War II the school was consolidated with Carthage school, but in the mid-1960s several stores and a church still remained in the area. In the early 1990s River Hill was a dispersed rural community.

Once known for it's cotton production, the days of the cotton gin(short for 'engine') are long gone. This area was a strategic location for farmers to bring their harvest, have it ginned, and then loaded onto boats. Panola County has since moved into the oil and gas industry.
