Caldwell, AR

Caldwell is a small, quiet community perched along Crowley's Ridge in eastern Arkansas, just a few miles north of Forrest City on Highway 1. Home to around 450 residents, the town got its start in the late 1800s when the railroad opened the scenic ridge up to new families, farmers, and timber workers. Today, it still keeps that unhurried countryside atmosphere, anchored by a local Baptist church, a neighborhood post office, and rolling greenery.

For anyone moving here, life in Caldwell revolves around its easy connection to Forrest City. Most locals make the short drive down the highway for work, groceries, and services, and kids in town attend Forrest City public schools. It gives residents a great balance of peaceful, open-sky living on the ridge with quick access to the jobs, healthcare, and amenities of a larger neighboring town.
