History of Garfield

The Stairstep Town With No Square Corners RoadyGoat

Eureka Springs is a whole Victorian spa town poured into the steep folds of the Ozarks, and its streets refuse to behave. They began as wandering animal and footpaths and never straightened out, curving and climbing and dropping so that, by local lore, none of the downtown streets actually meet at a right angle. The terrain is so vertical that the famous Basin Park Hotel reportedly has a ground-level entrance on multiple floors, each one opening onto a different hillside grade. The town grew up fast in the 1880s when visitors flocked to its springs, then believed to heal (a claim that didn't hold up), and the resulting stone-and-gingerbread downtown is so intact that in 1970 the entire city within its then-borders was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nicknamed the Stairstep Town and the Little Switzerland of the Ozarks, it's a place where you park once and walk, or climb, everywhere else.

Bentonville, AR RoadyGoat

Bentonville, Arkansas, a town nestled in the Ozark foothills, offers a curious mix of small-town charm and unexpected cosmopolitanism. It’s a place where art cars, mobile sculptures of wild imagination, cruise past historic buildings that survived a devastating fire during the Civil War. The town owes its name to Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton, and its early importance stemmed from the Butterfield Overland Mail route, making it a key stop in 1858. While retail dominates the economy today, thanks to a certain mega-corporation headquartered nearby, Bentonville has also nurtured a creative spirit.

Bentonville, AR RoadyGoat

Bentonville, Arkansas, nestled in the Ozark Mountains at a cool 1,270 feet, carries a rich history beneath its blend of small-town charm and big-city amenities. Its story began well before its official incorporation in 1873, an event that honored Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton. The Butterfield Overland Mail route, which snaked through here in 1858, first established Bentonville as a key transportation hub, a role that would prove crucial in the years to come. The Civil War left a lasting scar. In 1863, a devastating fire nearly consumed the town, a stark reminder of the conflict's reach. Recovery was slow, but Bentonville persevered. Decades later, it found itself at the center of a different kind of boom. Retail, and all the supporting industries that came with it, transformed the region thanks to Walmart's influence. While country singer Iris DeMent, born here, might sing of simpler times, the town now boasts a thriving art car scene – a quirky counterpoint to its corporate presence. Bentonville is a place where minor league baseball with the Northwest Arkansas Naturals shares the stage with global commerce, a testament to its evolving identity.
