Onward is approximately {{convert|6|mi|km}} south of Cary and approximately {{convert|9|mi|km}} north of Valley Park. Onward had a post office from about 1879 to 1975.[2] The post office was housed in Onward Store in the early to mid-twentieth century. A state historical highway marker on the grounds of Onward Store commemorates the creation of the Teddy Bear. In 1902, former United States President Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a captive bear during a bear hunt at nearby Smedes Plantation. Subsequent political cartoons inspired the creation of the Teddy Bear. A map from 1873 shows Onward located approximately {{convert|0.4|mi|km|abbr=on}} west of its current location, at the confluence of Black Bayou and Deer Creek, with the towns of "Reality" and "Good Intent" located to the south.[3] References1. ^{{gnis|675291}} {{Sharkey County, Mississippi}}{{Mississippi-geo-stub}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=MS&county=Sharkey&searchtext=&pagenum=2|title=Jim Forte Postal History|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 3. ^{{cite web | last1 = Searles | first1 = Jas M. | last2 = Stratton | first2 = David | title = Map of the County of Issaquena, Mississippi | publisher = Hugh Lewis | date = 1873 | url = https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3983i.la000388/}} 2 : Unincorporated communities in Sharkey County, Mississippi|Unincorporated communities in Mississippi |
