The city of Lowell (Benton County) was originally a small settlement known as Robinson’s Cross Roads, settled in the 1840s along what was later called Old Wire Road. The original settlement consisted of about thirty homesteaders. A school was established in 1884; it was a two-story, two-room building that was also used as a meeting place for the Masons and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
