In 1904. twelve years after the first business opened in Mantee, the Mobile. Jackson & Kansas City Railroad (later known as the Gulf, Mobile & Northern and Gulf, Mobile & Ohio) extended to western Webster County. Mantee moved closer to the railroad and in 1909 petitioned the Mississippi Railroad Commission to upgrade the depot. The improvements contributed to growth in the town's population. The train made its last stop here in 1982. In 2016, the depot was renovated to serve as the town hall.
