The History of England~ Bob Hudgens was the first settler in the area of England. Hudgens was a fisherman and hunter, who discovered three and half miles of England when he was traveling through the area trying to avoid the deep waters of the well-known Arkansas River flood. Hudgens created the Hudgen's Post Office where he served as postmaster. He also served as justice of the peace for several years.
Many early men and women worked very hard against impassible barriers; the lands covered thousands of acres with rich soil, but was covered by a huge forest of very large trees. The area was a full of wildlife making it a hunter's paradise. There was an abundance of small game in all varieties along with panthers, bears, and deer. The forest did have small clearings in various spots where settlers began to build homes.
After the town was established it was named after John England. England was mostly responsible for establishing the town since he owned most of the land in the area. In January of 1889, the town had its first town lots sale; two-thirds of the lots that made up the town were sold. The population has grown over the years since England was established. In 1896 there was 200 people, in 1900 there was 1,000 people, in 1910 there was 1,600 people and in 1923 there was 3,200 people.
