Napanee was a stop on a now-abandoned short-line railroad constructed by Delta Southern Railway in 1904.[3][4] The Napanee Plantation was located in the area.[3]
A post office called Napanee was established in 1905, and remained in operation until 1912.[5] The name "Napanee" is possibly of Choctaw language origin; it's purported to mean "something to twist or braid".[6]
