Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Gravette, AR

Gravette is a city in northwestern Benton County, Arkansas, in the Northwest Arkansas region, whose motto is 'The Heart of Hometown America'; it was once called the 'Gate Community' as a gateway into northwest Arkansas from Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri.

Gravette's original settlement was Nebo in Chalk Valley, platted in the 1870s by Joseph P. Covey; merchant Ellis Tillman Gravett ran the Chalk Valley Distillery and a general store there before moving his store west in 1891 to what is now downtown Gravette.

The arrival of the Arkansas and Oklahoma Railroad around 1898 greatly stimulated the region's fruit-growing industry, and Gravette was formally incorporated on January 27, 1899, reaching 569 residents by 1910.

The 2020 census counted 3,547 people in Gravette in 1,281 households, a 52.6 percent jump from 2,325 in 2010.

In 2012, residents of the nearby unincorporated community of Hiwasse, facing annexation by Bella Vista, chose instead to be annexed by Gravette, more than tripling the city's area from 4.0 to about 15.3 square miles.

Gravette recorded the coldest temperature in Arkansas history, −29 °F on February 13, 1905, and by National Weather Service data it is the snowiest place in Arkansas, averaging about 16 inches of snow per year.

The Kindley House, built in 1873 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, now houses the Gravette Historical Museum, with exhibits on World War I flying ace Captain Field E. Kindley.

Kindley Park, named for the ace, displays a T-33 aircraft on loan from the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, and Centennial Park displays a Kansas City Southern caboose donated to the city — the same railroad honored by the historic KCS Caboose No. 383 downtown.

Gravette maintains eight parks, including Old Town Park with its 9-hole disc golf course and seasonal farmers market, Hiwasse Park, and Pop Allum Park with seven baseball fields.

Major local employers include R & R Solutions, a packaging and logistics company, and plastics makers Hendren Plastics and Insul-Bead, whose dock flotation devices are shipped nationwide.
