West Helena

On this former plantation site June 20th, 1910, two cousins, Edward Chaffin Hornor and John Sidney Hornor with infinite foresight, founded the town of West Helena. They built an electric railway connecting it with Helena and unusual for the time, also built a water plant and sewerage system which added impetus to future residential growth. West Helena was incorporated as a city June 15, 1917.

The location and construction of two railroads through the town provided a firm foundation for the City's industrial expansion.
