Bethel Heights was a city in Benton County, Arkansas, United States.

[5] Growth put pressure on the city's subsurface discharge wastewater treatment system, and following a series of wastewater treatment plant violations, voters dissolved the city and completely annexed into Springdale in August 2020.

[6] Present-day Benton County was hunted by the Osage prior to, and after, the Louisiana Purchase.

Following the Treaty of Fort Clark and establishment of Lovely County, white settlement in the area began.

As the communities of Lowell and Springdale expanded toward the Bethel area, residents incorporated as a town in 1967 to prevent annexation.

[14] The Bethel Heights area (the former municipality) in 2022, was zoned to the following: Bayyari, Hunt, and Monitor elementary schools take certain portions.

[15] Bethel Heights, in 2006, was divided between Bayyari, Hunt, and Lee elementary schools.

[21] Bethel Heights students were zoned for graduation from Springdale High School.

In the early 2000s, Bethel Heights became a second-class city, requiring the establishment of wards.

Two council members were elected to two-year terms from each of the city's three wards to establish an annual budget and consider ordinances.

Council meetings were held on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall, 530 Sunrise Drive.

The system was out of compliance from August 2013 to January 2017, with sewage surfacing in neighbors' fields, livestock poisonings, multiple violations and fines resulting in a consent administrative order.

[26] Franchise utilities that served the community include AT&T, Black Hills Energy, and Cox Communications.
