A little about Fort Smith
"Where the New South Meets the Old West" is much more than a slogan. We're passionate about where we're going, where we've been and how this frontier border town shaped westward expansion. The pioneer spirit that transformed Fort Smith into the second largest city in Arkansas is still alive in our citizens, today. We embrace our colorful heritage and showcase its influence in our architecture, our art and our special brand of hospitality that we can't wait to share with you and your family.
The history of Fort Smith
The scrappy border town of Fort Smith, Arkansas emerged around the area’s first frontier fort, established in 1817, which promoted peace between Native America's warring Osage and Cherokee tribes. Perched on a bluff that overlooks the Arkansas River, visitors will find the remains of the first fort at the Fort Smith National Historic Site . Here, visitors can explore the history of the Trail of Tears and Civil War in Arkansas.
