In 1885, young Claude Albert Fuller moved with his family from Illinois to the busy town of Eureka Springs (Carroll County). He went on to become a prominent lawyer, city clerk, state legislator, prosecuting attorney, mayor, and congressman. As a U.S. congressman from 1929 to 1939, Fuller played an important role in the establishment of Social Security and the construction of the lakes in northwest Arkansas.
