Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Near West Trumann Trumann, AR

Trumann is a city in northeastern Poinsett County in northeast Arkansas, lying along U.S. Highway 63 in the 'sunken lands' region of the Arkansas Delta and included in the Jonesboro metropolitan area.

The settlement began in the early 1890s as rough timber camps along the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway, and the village of Mosher was established on April 27, 1896, named for an official of a local lumber company.

The town's name changed to Weona in 1902 for the Weona Land Company, then to Trumann on March 23, 1904, taking the surname of a railroad executive in New York.

Trumann was incorporated on November 16, 1917, after lumber firms including the Springfield Cooperage Company (1908) and the Poinsett Lumber Company (1912) made it a company lumber town.

The Poinsett Lumber Company became part of the Singer Company, which milled the lumber used to build cabinets for Singer sewing machines and dominated Trumann's economy until the plant closed in 1982.

Singer's Community House, built for the town by the company, is still owned by the City of Trumann, hosts civic groups and community events, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The 2020 census counted 7,399 people in Trumann, up from 7,243 in 2010, and with about 5.8 square miles it is the most populous community in Poinsett County.

In 1980 the Baldwin Piano Company opened a piano factory in Trumann; Gibson Guitar Corporation acquired the plant in 2001 before piano production was moved overseas in the mid-2000s.

Public education in Trumann is provided by the Trumann School District, whose teams are the Wildcats, and a new Trumann High School opened in August 2009 to handle a growing student body.

The Trumann Wild Duck Festival has been held on the last Saturday of September every year since 1983, celebrating the duck-hunting heritage of the surrounding sunken lands.
