December 14, 1912

Located in the northeast corner of Searcy County along U.S. Highway 65, the town of Pindall voted to receive official incorporation. After zinc deposits were discovered in the area in the early twentieth century, the St. Louis and North Arkansas Railroad (later the Missouri and North Arkansas) built a line through the county to transport the ore, as well as timber from the wooded hills. Pindall supplied zinc during both World War I and World War II and became a thriving center of commerce as farmers, lumbermen, miners, and shippers filled the town.
