About the area |
The town was not named for the country England but rather for a resident of both Lonoke and Little Rock who secured the right-of-way for the Saint Louis, Arkansas and Texas Railwayâs main line through Arkansas. The town was laid out at the junction of two branches of the St. Louis Southwestern Railroad. When the economy in England was going well it had a cotton seed oil mill, a flour mill, a telephone exchange, electric lights, a number of good stores, modern public school buildings, an ice factory and served as the banking and commercial center for a considerable part of the areas in Lonoke, Jefferson and Pulaski counties. Today the cotton fields still come right up to the edge of England city limits. |
