History of Rogers

Bentonville, AR RoadyGoat

Bentonville, Arkansas, a town nestled in the Ozark foothills, offers a curious mix of small-town charm and unexpected cosmopolitanism. It’s a place where art cars, mobile sculptures of wild imagination, cruise past historic buildings that survived a devastating fire during the Civil War. The town owes its name to Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton, and its early importance stemmed from the Butterfield Overland Mail route, making it a key stop in 1858. While retail dominates the economy today, thanks to a certain mega-corporation headquartered nearby, Bentonville has also nurtured a creative spirit.

Bentonville, AR RoadyGoat

Bentonville, Arkansas, nestled in the Ozark Mountains at a cool 1,270 feet, carries a rich history beneath its blend of small-town charm and big-city amenities. Its story began well before its official incorporation in 1873, an event that honored Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton. The Butterfield Overland Mail route, which snaked through here in 1858, first established Bentonville as a key transportation hub, a role that would prove crucial in the years to come. The Civil War left a lasting scar. In 1863, a devastating fire nearly consumed the town, a stark reminder of the conflict's reach. Recovery was slow, but Bentonville persevered. Decades later, it found itself at the center of a different kind of boom. Retail, and all the supporting industries that came with it, transformed the region thanks to Walmart's influence. While country singer Iris DeMent, born here, might sing of simpler times, the town now boasts a thriving art car scene – a quirky counterpoint to its corporate presence. Bentonville is a place where minor league baseball with the Northwest Arkansas Naturals shares the stage with global commerce, a testament to its evolving identity.

Bentonville, AR RoadyGoat

Bentonville, Arkansas, a town nestled in the Ozark Mountains at over 1,200 feet, owes its unusual trajectory to a combination of geography and a bit of historical accident. The Butterfield Overland Mail route carved through here in 1858, establishing it early as a regional transportation hub. While the Civil War brought devastation – a fire nearly leveled the town in 1863 – Bentonville rebuilt. What truly set it apart, though, was the rise of Walmart. The company’s headquarters, a monument to retail, transformed the area into an economic powerhouse, drawing in support industries and a workforce that demanded amenities far beyond what a typical small town could offer. Today, Bentonville boasts a surprising blend of small-town charm and big-city sophistication. You might stumble across an art car, a testament to the region's quirky artistic spirit, or catch a Northwest Arkansas Naturals minor league baseball game in nearby Springdale. While visitors flock to the area for business or outdoor recreation, the locals will tell you the real reason people stay is the unique sense of community.
