March 4, 1932

Blue Eye (Carroll County) became the town with the smallest population ever to be incorporated in Arkansas. Blue Eye is made up of two communities that straddle the Missouri and Arkansas state lines. Following the Civil War, the community was resettled and developed with a public square surrounded by several stores. By 1916, a community school organized by the local Baptist congregation received a $4,500 grant to build a two-story school house in the Arkansas portion of the town. Less than two decades after its opening, the school closed due to a public high school opening on the Missouri side of Blue Eye; the Arkansas school district was later absorbed by the Green Forest (Carroll County) school district.
