Monticello (Images of America)

Monticello (Images of America)

Settled by pioneers who referred to themselves as â€œrough and readyâ€ and named after Thomas Jeffersonâ€™s elegant estate in Virginia, Monticello has a colorful past that blends folklore and history to the point where separating one from the other would be nearly impossibleâ€•and controversial to boot. Continuous growth and prosperity have made it the hub of southeast Arkansas and a mecca for regionally located Arkansans when hard economic times have hit. Generally believed to be the most affluent town in the state from 1890 to 1920, Monticello provided opportunity, from early on, to those seeking fulfillment of the American Dream. Education has long been at the heart of Monticelloâ€™s ability to flourish, and its relationship with the University of Arkansas at Monticello has always been symbiotic.
