Marble Falls, Arkansas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marble Falls, Arkansas is the postal designation for an area on Arkansas' National Scenic 7 Byway between Harrison and Jasper. The Marble Falls Post office is specifically located in the parking lot of the now defunct theme park called Dogpatch USA.

Since at least the 1890s there has been a community in this area known as "Wilcockson." In the early 20th century Albert Raney, Sr. arrived in the area and created a waterfall he named Marble Falls. The area was known by that name until 1966 when the Raney property was purchased by the developers of Dogpatch USA. The developers had the areas postal designation changed to Dogpatch, and it would appear that way on highway maps. 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.
