In 1805 the U.S. government established a store at the location, but was closed in 1810, due to competition from private merchants.[2] Nathaniel Pryor,[3] who participated in the Lewis and Clark expedition, and Samuel B. Richards of Natchez established a store at the location after the War of 1812.[4] The present-day unincorporated community of Arkansas Post was founded on December 27, 1831, with the establishment of the first U.S. post office in the Arkansas Territory.[5]
