This brief history was originally written in 1984 for inclusion in the Faulkner County: Its Land and People, published in 1986 by the Faulkner County Historical Society. It is updated from time to time for new members of our Kiwanis Club. The original piece was based primarily on the records kept by the late Hubert L. Minton; long-time Kiwanians Ted Hiegel, Harold Eidson, and Dean Moore provided additional information.
