About Quitman
Quitman is a small city mostly in Cleburne County with a portion extending southwest into Faulkner County (population 694 at the 2020 census, per Wikipedia). Laid out in 1868 and named for Mexican War brigadier general John Anthony Quitman, it was once home to the Quitman Male and Female College (1869–1898), which claimed to be Arkansas's first theological school and earned the town the nickname "Athens of Arkansas" (per the Encyclopedia of Arkansas). Today it is a quiet rural town on Highway 25 between Heber Springs/Greers Ferry Lake and the Little Rock metro — a draw for buyers wanting small-town life near the lake.
