Flippin History

Flippin was named for Thomas J. Flippin who settled north of town with his family in the 1821, migrating from Kentucky. He was a farmer and grew crops including cotton. In 1904, the railroad came to the area, moving downtown to its current location.

A corporation called Marion County Town Company bought 20 acres and platted streets and lots. In 1921, Flippin incorporated with a mayor/council form of government. The town steadily grew, adding churches, businesses, post office, telephone company and more. In the 1950s, a water system and fire department came into being. Citywide sewer was installed in 1970.

The town now has numerous manufacturing industries, with Ranger Boats being the most well-known. The famous boat company was founded in 1968 by Forrest and Nina Wood, who are credited with creating the modern bass boat. The legacy started by the Woods continues as Ranger Boats is the largest employer in Marion County.

Sam Walton, founder of WalMart, chose Flippin to build the first mini-supercenter. The town is surrounded by tourist-related businesses for fishing and lodging.
