Welcome to FayettevilleHistory.com, a compendium of information about the history and culture of Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The town was founded in 1828 on land that had previously been set aside for the western Cherokee Nation. Before the Cherokees, the land had been hunted by the Osage and Quapaw tribes. The town has continued to grow during the last 170 years into a city that today is routinely named among the best places in America to live, attend college, own a business or retire.
