A family enjoys an outing at Glenwood (Pike County) near the Gurdon and Fort Smith Railroad bridge over the Caddo River. Construction of the railroad from Sebastian County to the Missouri Pacific line at Gurdon (Clark County) opened the Caddo Valley to the timber industry in the early 1900s. Glenwood grew from the two industries and was incorporated in May 1909.
