Overland, a rural community in western Hopkins County nine miles west of Sulphur Springs on Farm Road 2653, was settled by the early 1900s, when a public school was operating nearby. In 1905 the school had an enrollment of sixty-one students. In the mid-1930s Overland had a school, a store, and a number of houses. After World War II most of the residents moved away.
