About Mountainburg

Mountainburg is a small town in Crawford County, Arkansas, and part of the Fort Smith metropolitan area. It sits along U.S. Route 71 and grew when that road was the main route through northwest Arkansas. The name is no accident: Mountainburg lies near the Boston Mountains, with Lake Fort Smith State Park and Ozark scenery close by. It is a modest town, but its setting gives it real character: highway history, mountain edges, and a small community tucked into rugged country.
