THE CITY OF COAL HILL

Message from the Mayor

Coal Hill is located in the Arkansas River Valley between the Ozarks and the Ouachita Mountains. The Valley contains fertile soil, scenic beauty, and good transportation routes. It is almost equally distant from the much larger cities of Fort Smith to the west and Russellville to the east. Highway 64 runs directly through the center of town. Interstate 40 runs 5 miles to the north.

Originally a coal mining and farming community, most people now travel to nearby communities for work. Although if you travel south of town you will find farms growing cotton, soybeans, and corn; if you travel north you will find numerous cattle and poultry farms.

The Coal Hill Wampus Cats and the Hartman Hawks consolidated schools in 1983 to become the Johnson County Westside Rebels. Students are active in baseball, softball, track, band, football, and basketball as well as numerous educational pursuits. Because it is a small school, there is a closeness among the students and faculty that doesn't exist in larger schools.

Due to the geography and climate of the area, people enjoy a wide variety of outdoor leisure time activities such as hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and many other outdoor sports.

Located in the Bible Belt insures that the town has churches of most denominations that also play a large part in the small town community atmosphere.
