Welcome to the City of West Fork, A
rkansas
West Fork, nestled in the Ozark Mountains, is ten miles south of the University of
Arkansas at Fayetteville, Arkansas, and a half-hour drive to the home offices of Wal-
Mart and Tyson. West Fork is nearby to popular destinations such as the Crystal
Bridges Museum, Beaver Lake, Devil's Den State Park with hiking and biking trails,
and the War Eagle Mill Arts and Crafts Fair.
West Fork was founded in the 1880s on the banks of the West Fork of the White
River. Founded by the timber industry, milling, and railroad commerce, our historic
homes, parks, library, Farmers Market and community events preserve a small town
feel in an area of rapid growth with a diverse and an expanding economy. Our
beautiful Ozark Mountain scenery, mild four seasons, one of the best school
districts in Arkansas, and opportunities for employment, recreation and higher
education, make West Fork "Where the Best Begins".
