| The City of Eureka Springs was
founded and named on July 4, 1879. By late 1879, the estimated
population of Eureka Springs reached 10,000 people and in 1881,
the town was declared a "City of the First Class," the
fourth largest city in Arkansas. Eureka Springs is a unique
Victorian village in Carroll County, Arkansas which has its own
curious culture and lifestyle.
The city has a distinct European flavor with
steep winding streets filled with Victorian-style cottages and
manors. It is the only city in North America where none of the
streets meet at right angles. It is also home to one of few
outdoor staircases not attached to a street that is considered a
street by the United States Postal Service.
