== Fun facts ==
* During the Summer of 2011 the Mississippi began to flood, Pinhook being destroyed on May 2nd. The Birds Point-New Madrid levee was blown to save Cairo, Illinois from flooding. Everyone in Pinhook lost their homes that they had lived in for many years. Many are devastated because they loved living in a small community, knowing everyone. These people fled to family or apartments, until they could find a new home. There has been talk of relocating the community as a whole, but the funding is the only issue. In August 2015 remaining buildings were bulldozed.
* Wilson City was one of several villages constructed in the early 1940s as part of the "Delmo Project," an initiative by the Farm Security Administration to aid displaced tenant farmers. The village was initially known as "North Wyatt," or the "North Wyatt Group," but had adopted its current name by the late 1960s. The Delmo villages were segregated by race, and Wilson City was one of four Delmo villages designated for African Americans.
* Anniston is most known for having a statue of Clay Helton in downtown, erected on June 2nd, 1987 in honor of the legendary PokeSoul singer. Some have called it a waste of money, but others haven't minded it too much.
