| In 1872, the first train of the
Cairo and Fulton Railroad Company stopped at Des Arc Road. This intersection
was designated Beebe Station in honer of Roswell Beebe, the president of the
company. Many of the new residents and businesses came from Stoney Point to be near the new
railroad. The Beebe (Beebe Station) Post Office was established April 30,
1872. Beebe was incorporated on April 15, 1875. In 1878 Beebe was listed in a
General Directory of railroad towns on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern Railway as: |

Beebe Mayor: School system is city's
biggest asset
Beebe's school
system is its biggest asset, according to Mayor Mike Robertson, who called the
district's facility "very professional."
"The teachers
work one-on-one with the students," Robertson said, adding there are vert few
problems with gangs or drugs. "We can be proud that we don't have that," he
said.
The district is planning a new auditorium and junior
high, in part to keep up with significant groeth.
"We're
one of the fastest-groing areas in the state," robertson said. He said he
attributes the spurt to its central location, about half-way between Little Rock
and Searcy.
The last census set the population at close to
4,400, but Robertson estimates in is now close to 6,000, adding that much of the
growth has occurred in the last two years.
"There are
several hundred added to the schools alone," he said.
Fortunately, the city council is meeting the increase by cooperation among
themselves, according to Robertson, who said city government, groups, clubs and
schools are in good relations.
Through these
relationships, the mayor said he hopes to see vast improvements in several
departments in the near future. He said parks and recreation are a top priority,
as the city has applied for grants through White River Development and
Planning.
The city will cooperate with the schools to plan
a year-round program to use school athletic property for public use in winter
months, and the city's ball park will continue to expand. A new complex for
concession and bathroom is in the works, and parks and recreation will also try
to hire a full-time director, according to the mayor.
Other city plans include a new water and sewer system, which should "enhance
growt," Robertson said, adding "it should be state-of-the-art."
