About Bauxite
Bauxite is a small city in Saline County (population 629 at the 2020 census, per Wikipedia), named for the bauxite ore — the source of aluminum — mined here in huge quantities. The town boomed during World War II aluminum production and shrank as mining faded; it incorporated as a town in 1973. Today it's a quiet residential community between Benton and Bryant, with modest homes and a strong local identity rooted in mining history.
