10 SMALLEST Towns in ARKANSAS

Arkansas had another Internment Camp in Rohwer, AR. Both George Takei and Ruth Asawa were both relocated there as children.

Good job ❤
Have a great day ❤

Grew up around Birdsong, and farm worked all around it as a teen. That longer shaped white cinderblock building was the old store. The metal frame in front enclosed the old gas pump, if you wanted gas the sweet old lady that ran the store would come out and remove the padlock, it was super expensive but the next closest gas was in Tyronza. The store had great made to order sandwiches everyday and bbq on Fridays. Really was a time capsule when I was there in the late 90s. If you are standing in front of the store, the house up on the hill behind you was an old bootlegger that would sell you beer for a $1 a can on sundays, since you cant buy alcohol in Arkansas on Sunday.

Curious as to what river that was in Jerome?

Did u look at Myron, AR. Population 14. Located in N/E Izard county in north central of the state

Check out Lurton Ark.

I grew up in McNabb late 1960’s early 1970’s..I lived across Hwy 355 from the whit brick store building.. my grandparents owned the store in mid 1970’s…

Hey bud ...you missed the smallest town yet ...Urbanette , Ark

It lays between BlueEye and Berryville...on hiway 21 the city signs are literally in sight of each other and about 100 yrds apart and just a few buildings...

If you went to BlueEye from Berryville...you probably went right through it and didn't notice it..

Lol

Tulip, Arkansas. Which was not on the list population 50ish. The rebels past thru tulip. Also was in the running for the state capital way back when. It would have been a good historical small town stop.

Those buildings with the patchwork stone veneer siding are called "giraffe houses" because of the reticulated patterns. It's a regional style, not found in areas without limestone outcroppings to provide the sheets of stone.

I had a deer camp about 1 mile from Tinsman. Still looks the same after 40 years. What about New Edinburg, Ar. It used to be a thriving township. You should go see it!

Tou didn't include Centerhill Arkansas!

So Victoria isn't the smallest if it's privately owned. I would also assume that the post office has closed. Since it's privately owned.

I think I would not call these small towns.... I would call them tiny!.... none of them have over 50 people, what makes people want to live in such tiny towns...there is not anything to do?
I can just think of the phycological effect these tiny towns would have on me if I even spent 1 month living in any of them. need a bit more people for me and places to go to, where were the grocery stores? and how long does anyone wait for emergency services should someone be in need.

I was hoping you were going to mention snowball.
I'll see if I can get my friends to join me in checking out Gilbert some time.

Thank you for the tour. Well done. My whole family for gerations been here... yes some is broken down and crumbling...that is the nature of change. ❤❤❤

OKAY I LOVE ARKANSAS

My Mom's family lives in Gilbert my dad is buried in Gilbert simatary and back in around 1965-67 I almost drowned in the Buffalo River there

Very well done video !

Victoria was my favorite town! JK—

George Takei and his family spent time in the Jerome Japanese Internment camp.

the best thing about visiting Arkansas is when you realize your only there temporary

I moved to Arkansas in 1980 and stayed. I'm from a small community in Tennessee called Turnersville. It's a lot like the beautiful places you have shown here! Thank You for going off the beaten path to share this with us! I really enjoy the instrumental music in the background. Would you please tell me where I can get a copy of that music? It makes my heart settle down and is very calming. BTW, I will never leave Arkansas... I have found my forever home. I'm here to stay!

Thank you for this video. Arkansas is my home state and I had no idea that these small towns existed. I am an elementary school teacher in Saint Louis and this video would be great to share for Social Studies

Been binge watching your videos and I didn’t see Eureka Springs Arkansas in your videos yet. Do you know about Eureka Springs? It’s a neat place and it is touristy. My parents got married at the old courthouse back in 1951. It has a lot of history! Just throwing it out there. Lol love your videos!

Should come see birta, if you wanna see a small town. :) we did have a store, but it got to old and the breeze knocked it over. Just have a church. Oh, by the way, Birta is in Yell County

I have lived in Arkansas for 3 years. One thing I appreciate here is that it isn’t heavily populated. Seeing those small towns really emphasized that. Of course, then you don’t have Olive Gardens, The Cheesecake Factory or all night diners and so on. Doctor’s appointments and the hospital are 20 to 28 miles away, depending on where you go. But the Ozarks are really very beautiful and it’s quiet living in the forest. Anyway, I appreciate this video you made. It is educational and very well done. Congratulations!

how about Garland City?

Good video. I've lived in this area for 55 years. Sadly, most of our small towns are dying. You should talk to citizens, though, and learn how some of these towns are pronounced, like Ozan (not Ozon). Also, Winthrop Arkansas is incorporated and has a population of 101. Sw Arkansas. Also, You mentioned Jerome. We have Rocky Comfort in sw Arkansas. Later it was named Foreman. Rocky Comfort is now occupied by a large cement mining/ manufacturing plant. Not long ago, the structure in the cement plant was the tallest in Arkansas. They finally built a taller building in Little Rock.

Not a place where I would want to live but that is just me. Everybody likes different things I guess it doesn't make it right or wrong. I'm more into bigger places. I like a lot of conveniences around me, and I don't mind a little excitement now and then and a wide variety of things to do and places to shop. It is funny because I actually grew up in small towns. I got bored with them and moved to a major city and eventually settled in a more mid sized city of around 300,000 people. The city life has kind of spoiled me. I still enjoy getting out and visiting smaller towns though.

Which towns are in a dry county?

As a ARKANSAN BORN HUMAN BEING,
Let me say:
SINCERE APOLOGIES FOR THE ARROGANT SNOB YOU ENCOUNTERED IN VICTORIA AS NOT ALL ARKANSANS ARE
STUCK UP LIKE HER!

And an EXTREME THANK YOU FOR EXPLORING THIS BEAUTIFUL STATE OF OURS.

But I am amazed you didn't check out one place where I lived for a short time:
"BILLINGSLY CORNER ARKANSAS"
which is so small we don't even have a post office
(or didn't when I lived there in 1982).
"BILLINGSLY CORNER" is on
ARKANSAS ST HWY 44,
about 3 miles south of the
LITTLE RIVER BRIDGE in
LITTLE RIVER Co ARKANSAS.
P.S. DON'T BLINK OR YOU MISSED IT

Show the town we don’t care about looking at your face

you where showing Brookland instead of Goobertown

Ahh, Possum Grape is so small it gets counted as part of Bradford

I’m not trying to be weird or anything but I’m going to Roger’s soon do you know if it’s a sundown town

TO THE. PEOPLE THAT WANT TO MAKE FUN. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT. THAN STAY THE HELL OUT .

While some stone on the buildings in and around Gilbert Arkansas may have come from the river, The rock on the buildings that have a cobblely, "sparkly" quality were rock they had wagoned in from the Zinc mines in the hills around the area. St. Joe had many many buildings finished in such stones. I have such stones on my own property North of that area near some of the old mines. Calcite and dolomite crystal set on mostly chert stone. St.Joe has it own geological layer of limestone called the St. Joe Formation. These areas were founded on mining and timbering. Gilbert lost a lot of it's "umph" when a hurricane remanant came and flooded Gilbert in August 1915. Their only Saloon washed away as well 😂. They were a "wet" county then unlike these days.

You missed these towns Bonanza .. Hackett ..Midland .. Hartford ..and to the north of these is Cedarville .. Natural Dam ..Evansville .. Tolu .. Dutch Mills .. Summers ... and lastly this one Cincinnati

My grandfather was born in Tinsman! My family has been floating the Buffalo through Gilbert for a long time too

I like your vids. Wise guy

Love to hear the history and descriptions 😊

I am a railroad enthusiast and I believe that railroad in Tinsman is still active. Unless something has changed in the past few years. The railroad is now the Arkansas, Louisiana & Mississippi. Used to be the Fordyce & Princeton Railroad.

Wish Gepp, AR was incorporated. Has a post office and zip code.

Back in the late 70's there used to be a nice softball field at the intersection where the highway out of Fordyce (274) intersected with highway (275) that several of the surrounding small communities, Hampton, Harrell, Thornton, and Fordyce each used to have teams come play their games there. That closed down Railroad was the former Rock Island RR company. Thinking it closed down in the late 70's. I spent many a night playing softball on that field for my company team from the Fordyce plant of Georgia Pacific.

If I had to guess I would say the issue in Victoria was the filming part they objected to. Not just the visitors themselves.

As a German European, Wiederkehr (translation: "Return", often in the sense of "back home" or recurrence... even though I understand it was the name of the guy) was SURREAL to see such familiar aesthetics in such an almost "tropical" setting. I liked Tinsman and Bird Song. I love that you take us with you, it is really immersive to dive into the deep US this way. A place where I always wanted to be and hopefully someday will live. Time stands still there, it is very healing, like a good psychotropic trip. I always wanted to have a friend like you. Due to chronic illness I cant leave the house much, so I want to say: THANK YOU!
