About Melbourne

Tucked into the rolling hills of north Arkansas, Melbourne is a quiet, friendly town of around 1,800 residents in the heart of Izard County. Life here moves at an easy pace, anchored by the local Ozarka College campus and a strong public school system where community pride runs deep for the Melbourne Bearkatz. It offers the classic appeal of small-town Ozark living, with scenic countryside all around and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
