These swampy wastelands were great hunting and fishing grounds where hunters and trappers could find everything from bear to bobcats. Lake Village was incorporated in 1857, but no city government was established because the county government was located within the city limits and the town was formed around the county governments. By 1890 there were two large general stores, several lawyers, two or three doctors, two hotels, and at least seven saloons. Other businesses included a drug store, two livery stables, a newspaper office, and a hardware store. This message must appear on all copied material.
