Gainesville Arkansas Census & Civil War.

1914.


From Left: Stevenson's Grocery, United States Post Office, Frank Dalton's News Boy, Dr. Gregory's Office and Pharmacy, Frank Scott's General Merchandise, Dearborn Implement Store, A private residence. Nothing remains of the original town site today.

Although the above photo is dated 1914, Gainesville was long gone by this time.  In 1892, the town was destroyed by fire, only two business were saved.  Off and on over the years a business would start up then leave.  In the 1940's and 50's a business was built, but not in Gainesville but up or down the road at the turn off to the Gainesville Cemetery, the last known business to be around Gainesville was in 2008.  The 1892, fire made Gainesville a ghost town and was left in the memories of those who lived there.

History of Greene County & Gainesville Arkansas.

The first settler to the area was Benjamin Crowley of Kentucky who arrived in 1821 and established a home about 12 miles west of Paragould. Greene County was formed on 5 November 1833 out of portions of Lawrence County and contained portions of present Clay and Craighead counties. The county was named after Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene. The original county seat was in Benjamin Crowley's home. By 1836, when Arkansas became a state, the county seat was located at a settlement called "Paris" (not to be confused with present-day Paris, Arkansas).  In 1848 a national highway was put through and the county seat was moved to the community of Gainesville, Arkansas which had a reputation as a relatively lawless town. The county seat remained there until 1883 when it was moved to the new town of Paragould. The residents of Gainesville opposed the move and it is reported that shots were fired and tempers were high. A new courthouse was built in 1888 and the building still survives in downtown Paragould.

Gainesville served as the headquarters of Greene County government for 44 years, from 1840 until 1884, when an election was held to decide whether to move the seat to the new railroad town of Paragould.

In 1846 Gainesville consisted of a log court house , two store buildings an five dwellings houses. The community did not have a name until it "gained" the location of the county seat in 1840 , an hence became "Gainesville". At its height , the town had a population of about three hundred or three fifty in 1884.

The first newspaper in Greene County was established in 1874 by Rev. J. D. C. Cobb, Frank M. Daulton published a paper at Gainesville for a number of years.

When the county seat was moved to Paragould late in 1884 , the business and professional men moved to Paragould , leaving their homes to go down in disuse. The majority of the population followed. Since then the community has consisted almost entirely of farmers.
