Marble Falls, Arkansas

A Choctaw Indian named Ah-Che-To-Mah was the first settler known to have acquired title to land in the vicinity of Marble Falls.

They put the marble on a log wagon and, with ten yokes of oxen to pull it, moved it 60 miles across the Boston Mountains to the Arkansas River near Clarksville, where it was shipped to Washington, D.C.

The block of marble (with" Arkansas" chiseled on it), along with other memorial stones, is located on the 30-foot level of the Washington Monument.

The theme park closed in 1993, and in 1997 the citizens of the area voted unanimously to change the postal designation back to Marble Falls, the name it has today.

The only lift-serviced skiing ever in Arkansas was offered at the Marble Falls Resort beginning circa 1972 and lasting until the 1980s.
