Mountain Home History

The city originally was known as Rapp's Barron after Simeon "Rapp" Talburt built the first home in the early 1830s.The original cabin was found in 1990 and is on display in Cooper Park along with other homes of historic value. The name of the town was changed to Mountain Home in 1856. When Baxter County was incorporated on March 24, 1873, Mountain Home was named as the county seat and incorporated on July 12, 1888.

The Great Depression hit the area hard, causing many local farmers to lose their land and leave. A series of natural disasters also caused hardship in the area including the Flood of 1927 and the drought of 1930-31. Cotton had been one of the main crops in the area before this, but the drought ended production of cotton in Baxter county and it never truly resumed.

Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal brought the building of Norfork and Bull Shoals Dams to the area. The construction of these two dams was a time of tremendous growth for the formerly isolated community of Mountain Home. Streets were paved and electricity became common in average households.

With the creation of Norfork and Bull Shoals Lakes, Mountain Home turned its sights to tourism. Today, there are many resorts, marinas, guide services and more tourist-related businesses in the Mountain Home area.
