About Maumelle

top

Maumelle has a colorful and historical past, dating back far before it was developed as "New Town".  This land, on the North side of the Arkansas River, was once claimed buy the Osage Indians as their hunting grounds.  The first recorded explorer to Maumelle was  Hernando De Soto, a Spanish man. In 1541, he and his men made their way up the Arkansas River searching for gold.  There's a lot of history between then and now, but in 1941 the United States Government purchased it from a number of individual landowners for a munitions manufacturing and storage facility. In 1959 the land was sold to a private company, then sold again in December, 1961, to the City of North Little Rock, which had plans to develop the area into an industrial park. 

Planned Community

The city of North Little Rock's plans never materialized and by 1967, the property was back on the market. Jess P. Odom, an Arkansas businessman and insurance executive, submitted an acceptable bid for the approximately 5,000 acres and set out to fulfill his vision of building a "New Town." Mr. Odom formed Maumelle Land Development, Inc. and with assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, designed a master plan for an ideal community in which people of varying backgrounds, interests and income levels could live together in a harmonious blending of individual pursuits. The population today exceeds 10,000 residents. The planned community was declared a first-class incorporated city on June 21, 1985. (Arkansas Census Data)
