Emmet, Arkansas

[edit]

History

[edit]

The area around Emmet had long been inhabited by the Native American Caddo, prior to European colonization of the Americas.

[1]

[2] It consisted of gently rolling hills and prairies, interspersed with dense timber and fertile lowlands.

By the time of the Louisiana Purchase, the natural fauna was being removed in favor of more profitable crops. Wildlife that had been an important sustenance for Natives was also being removed and over time, the Caddo population was greatly diminished.

In the years following Arkansas statehood, settlers began flowing steadily into Arkansas. Some were following the Southwest Trail to Fulton, on the Red River, while others saw opportunity in the area where Emmet would be established.

In 1837, Martin Edwards secured one of the first Land Patents in Arkansas. His property encompassed the area that would include the community of Burkville; precursor to the City of Emmet.

A Methodist congregation was organized in the area around 1855 as part of the Moscow Circuit of the Methodist Church, South. The group was originally known as Bethel Church and they met in a log structure that also served as a schoolhouse.

A Baptist congregation was established in 1860, and they organized the

About 1880 minister, Thomas J. Sage, led an effort to construct a church building. New structures were constructed in 1891 and in 1917. In 1885, Emmet became part of the new jurisdiction named Emmet Circuit, and a new parsonage was constructed. The 1917 church building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.

, and a post office was established in 1871, with Emmet Elgin being the first postman. In 1873, the Cairo & Fulton Railroad was constructed paralleling the Southwest Trail through northern Nevada County.[3] Elgin worked for the railroad as a surveyor, platting the

A depot and the town was established as a railroad stop.

The city was first platted in 1873, during construction of the .[4]

Elgin helped survey the area and the railroad depot was named in his honor.

In 1874, the town name was changed from 'Burkville' to 'Emmet', and it was incorporated 1883.

During an election in 1890 when many parts of Arkansas, including areas in Nevada County, voted to prohibit the sale of alcohol, citizens of Emmet voted to remain wet.

A new Methodist church was constructed around 1917.

High prices for cotton during World War I brought brief prosperity to the city.

The timber industry and truck farming also provided jobs to local residents.[5] Among the crops shipped from Emmet during the 1920s were cantaloupes, peas, beans, radishes, mustard plants, cucumbers, tomatoes, strawberries, and watermelons.[6]

The Great Depression led to a decline in farming, so that by 1950 very few row crops were found in northern Nevada County.
