The City of De Queen
De Queen is the county seat of Sevier county, located on the Kansas
City Southern railroad and is the present terminus of the De Queen
and Eastern railroad. The Texas, Oklahoma, and Eastern railroad,
starting at Valliant, Okla., will be connected with the De Queen and
Eastern soon. The grade is now finished within a few miles of the
city. This is a division of the K.C.S. also. The De Queen & Eastern
has shops in this city.
De Queen has a population exceeding 3000. It has one of the best
electric light plants in the state, with a twenty-four hour service.
Our splendid telephone system has rural branches and long-distance
connections. Farmers are served, with six rural mail routes. De
Queen has a grist mill and needs a flour mill. De Queen has one of
the finest moving picture shows in the country and another one is
being built. A modern sanitarium will occupy a new building now
being constructed. Two handsome school buildings and numerous
churches grace the city. De Queen has an excellent waterworks system
supplied with pure artesian water. Among other industries are a big
ice plant, two gins, two planing mills, three garages, metal working
establishment, printing office with modern equipment, a good weekly
newspaper and two wholesale grocery houses. Three up-to-date banks
and numerous business concerns, help to make this a city with
accommodations second to none.
Miles of concrete sidewalks, shaded by stately trees, border blocks
of beautiful homes, and the fair city of De Queen is admired by all
who visit here, and loved by those whose permanent home it is. Just
now the demand for houses is greater than the supply but DeQueen is
provided with hotels second to none in the State. You are invited to
visit Fair De Queen.
