Double Springs was a community in
Oktibbeha County,
Mississippi.[1] A US Post office was located there from November 1, 1857, through August 13, 1904. It was founded around 1835, and at one time was as large as
Starkville. It was on the pony express service from Columbus to Greensboro.[2] During
reconstruction, it was home to one of three main groups of the
Ku Klux Klan in the county.[3] In 1887 the
Old Southern Railroad built a track and most of the population and businesses moved to
Maben, Mississippi, abandoning Double Springs.[4]
