History of Maumelle ~

Maumelle has lively past, it is older than the actual State of Arkansas, some time before 1970, and Maumelle was created as a New Home Town Coming True.  History shows that the land was first inhabited in 400 B.C. by Indians.  Many years later the Osage Indians began to claim land for their hunting grounds, Maumelle was included in these claims.

In 1541, the first white man, Hernando De Soto, a Spanish explorer came to Maumelle while searching for gold.  The next visitors would not come until the 1700s while going through the land to Conway.  Prior to the 1800s not much is known about the history of Maumelle because many events were not recorded.  

In 1812, a group of settlers came to Maumelle from Alabama.  Two brothers by the names of James and Jacob Pyeatt led the settlers to the area.  In the beginning the land was known as Pyeattstown.  James was the farmer and Jacob operated a ferry on the river.  The first Protestant service was held at the residence of James Pyeatt in 1812, by Reverend John Carnahan.  It was the first service to be held in Arkansas.  By 1819, the area had become to be known as a center of religion, intelligence and fashion; the population had grown to over 150 people by then.

One of the finest known homes in the settlement was the home of General Edmund Hogan of the Missouri Territory; the home was built in 1812.  General Hogan was part of the legislature of the Missouri Territory, which was then part of Arkansas and he was also appointed the first postmaster.  A plat for the future town to be called Crystal Hill was registered in 1821 by General Hogan.  Now there is no record of this plat.

In 1967, the city was back on the market when an insurance executive and businessman, Jess Odom bid on 5,000 acres to build a town on.  Odom created the Maumelle Land Development, Inc. and formed a perfect plan for model community that people of all backgrounds, income levels and interests could live in peace and harmony.  The first family to move in to this new town chose Club Manor Subdivision for their new modern home.

In June of 1985, the city was incorporated and the community was affirmed as a first-class city with an aldermanic/mayor form of government.
