The town was organized in 1908 and grew to a population of more than 500 residents. The residents of the town, tired of dealing with trying to cross the river with goods, built one of the first bridges in the area a 500 foot swinging or suspension bridge.

Anyone interested in learning more about the area can purchase this book from the Heber Springs Historical Society or from the Heber Springs Chamber of Commerce.
