The Delta County Courthouse was built in 1940 in a Moderne style as designed by Hoke Smith.
Initial county business was conducted in a one-room box house until a two-story, frame county capitol was erected in 1881 on the square. The $6,000 building burned in 1899 and was replaced by a three-story brick and stone courthouse complete with towers and a cupola.
