Forester, Arkansas

Forester is an extinct town in Scott County, in the U.S. state of Arkansas.

[4] In 1932, the Arkansas Western Railway built an extension of about 22 miles from Waldron to Forester to service the sawmill.

[5] Caddo River, having cut all the largest timber, sold the town to Dierks Lumber and Coal in 1945.

[3] The buildings were torn down or moved, and the rail line from Waldron was taken out shortly after.

[3][5] However, a reunion park at the log pond has been maintained by The Forester Historical Society since 1983.
