Biohazard and Pathogen Disinfection in Wooster, AR

Wooster is a small city in Faulkner County, Arkansas, about seven miles north of Conway and four miles west of Greenbrier.

The community grew up around a general store that J. P. Wooster bought in 1881; the village took his name, and its post office opened on March 20, 1883.

The land under Wooster traces back to 1820 military bounty land grants, including a patent first taken up by War of 1812 veteran Robert Robertson.

Although it was settled in the late nineteenth century, Wooster did not incorporate until April 28, 1958; its first mayor, John Patton, served for sixteen years.

In 1958, the same year Wooster incorporated, its school system was consolidated into the neighboring Greenbrier School District.

Wooster's only property on the National Register of Historic Places is the Patton House, built in 1918 by a local merchant.

The 2020 census counted 1,042 people in 352 households in Wooster, double the 516 residents it had in 2000.

Wooster's growth came as new subdivisions turned it into a bedroom community for Conway: its population jumped from 516 in 2000 to 860 in 2010 and 1,042 in 2020.

The city covers about 2.9 square miles, all of it land, along Arkansas Highway 25 northwest of Conway.
