Fox is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Stone County, Arkansas, United States.
Early settlers farmed at Meadowcreek or along the Little Red River, five to six miles away, before several families moved up the mountain to Fox.
The community launched an all out campaign to save the post office, producing a YouTube video with locals telling their story.
The town's campaign to keep their post office was featured in Seattle-based Equal Voice Newspaper[7] which led to a New York Times article in December 2011.
After public pressure from rural residents around the country to their congressional delegation, the USPS proposed a compromise in May 2012 to leave all post offices open with reduced hours and non-career employees in most cases.
The school serves a number of small communities on the isolated mountain including Fox, Meadowcreek, Mozart, Parma, Rushing, Sunnyland, and Turkey Creek.
The Turkey Creek Schoolhouse, built in 1925 and used until Rural Special School came into existence in 1946, is also listed on the National Register of Historic places.

The school hosts events for the community including a Senior Citizens Thanksgiving Dinner, that celebrated its 40th year in 2012, and an annual program to honor veterans.
