Malvern

by Steven Hanley, Ray Hanley

Overview

Hot Spring County was established in 1829, and its county seat, Malvern, was laid out as a station on the Cairo and Fulton Railroad in 1873. A remarkable diversity of agricultural, timber, and mineral products spurred the county�s growth over the decades, especially the abundant clay deposits that made Malvern the �Brick Capital of the World.�

About the Author

Roosevelt visited the community and about the evolution from dirt streets, horses, and buggies to a modern highway bringing thousands of motorists through the city. They will witness the changes that technology and growth have wrought in small-town life, a microcosm of small towns across the nation. The authors of 10 Arcadia Publishing titles, Steven and Ray Hanley are also the producers of �Arkansas Post Card Past,� a daily feature appearing in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette since 1986.
