Towns and Cemeteries near Ash Flat, Arkansas in the 1800's



Here is a list (I found online) with information that came from an Atlas published by Rand McNally in 1895. The Atlas had details such as the population of the community (which appears to have come from the 1890 Census) and whether there was a post office and/or railroad service available. We also indicate if the community no longer exists and is now historic.

The Rand McNally Atlas shows that Ash Flat had a population of 350 people in 1895 with a post office and no railroad service. In 2013, Ash Flat had a population of 1,074 people.
