== Fun facts ==
* Arcadia has the highest elevation of any town in Louisiana.
* In 1934, Bonnie and Clyde were sought throughout the Southeast for their robbing banks and associated crimes. They were killed near Arcadia by law enforcement officers from Bienville Parish and Dallas County, Texas. Their bodies were brought for embalming to the former Conger Funeral Home in Arcadia. As word of the killing of the outlaws spread, large crowds of onlookers were drawn to the funeral home, which was also a furniture store. The owner's wife, Inez Conger, grew so angry at the many gawkers standing on the store's tables and chairs to try to get a look at the bodies, that she began splashing formaldehyde around the store in an attempt to drive the crowds away. The bodies were sent to Dallas for separate funerals and interments. The ambush occurred southwest of Arcadia on Louisiana State Highway 154 between Gibsland and Sailes. Gibsland has been a destination for tourism associated with Bonnie and Clyde. L.J. "Boots" Hinton, son of posse member Ted Hinton, operates the Bonnie and Clyde Ambush Museum.
* Arcadia has a little bit of amenities to offer. It has a Brookshire's, dollar stores, a couple of car dealerships, a few fast food places, a couple of small motels, a few gas stations, a sports complex, a landing strip, a few public battle fields, NAPA Auto Parts, the Bonnie and Clyde Ambush Museum, and a few other things.
