History
The town was founded in 1899 by lumber magnate and president of Lee Wilson and Company, R.E.L. Wilson as one of his many company holdings. By 1900, he was operating one of his companies, the Beall Lumber Company, in the community. The lumber mill and nearly three million feet of cut lumber later burned to the ground on June 10, 1902. By 1904, the community received a rail connection when the Chickasawba Railroad completed its line from Blytheville to Barfield Landing on the Mississippi River. This line was soon after consolidated into the Jonesboro, Lake City, and Eastern Railroad. In 1924, the community of Armorel hosted a division of Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association.
