About Branch

Sitting at the crossroads of Highways 22 and 41 in Franklin County, Branch is a quiet community of around 300 people. The town traces its roots back to the rail and coal boom of the late 1800s, taking its name from one of its founders after the postal service rejected their first pick. Today, Branch offers a peaceful, rural setting in the Arkansas River Valley, making it a comfortable spot for anyone seeking open space while staying within an easy commute of larger hubs like Fort Smith and Paris.
