About Alpena

Alpena is a small town split between Boone and Carroll counties in northern Arkansas. It began as Alpena Pass after the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad came through Boone County in the early 1900s, giving the town a railroad-era origin story. Today Alpena is modest in scale, with only a few hundred residents and local schools playing a central role in community life. Its setting in the Ozarks matters as much as its downtown, with rural hills and small-town routines close at hand.
