Bull Shoals History

Like its sister city, Lakeview, Bull Shoals was created just prior to the construction of Bull Shoals Dam. Investors purchased 1,000 acres near the planned dam site from 17 farmers in the Newton Flat area, adjacent to the planned dam. Headed by C.S. Woods Sr., a town of 2,076 lots was platted in August 1946 to provide lodging and services to workers. Nine months later, the federal government began dam construction on the White River.

When the lake filled after competition of the dam in 1951, the area became a mecca for fishing. The crystal-clear water of the lake beckoned to bass and walleye fisherman nationwide. Because of the dam, the White River became a cold-water stream, a perfect habitat for rainbow trout, calling to fishermen internationally. Bull Shoals turned into a tourist destination and flourished throughout the 1950s. In the ‘60s and ‘70s, many who came to fish returned looking to retire, and the town again re-invented itself as a retirement and bedroom community for those working in Mountain Home.
