Garfield, Arkansas

About this city

Garfield is a historic, rural mountain community nestled in the scenic ridges of the Ozark Mountains in far northern Arkansas, just miles from the Missouri border. Positioned along Old Highway 62, the town gained prominent historical significance during the American Civil War due to its immediate proximity to the pivotal Battle of Pea Ridge. Today, the surrounding area has transitioned into a serene residential and outdoor recreation gateway, defined by rolling oak forests and the deep, winding limestone waters of nearby Beaver Lake.
