Key Information

History

[edit]
People of Zinc, c. 1935

Zinc mining in the area gave the town its name.[4] Zinc and lead mining began in the 1890s and peaked during World War I (1914–1918). A post office was established in Zinc in 1900 and the town was incorporated in 1904.[5]

The town had a number of business establishments and a school in the 1920s, but a flood in 1927 caused damage to homes and businesses. Zinc's population was 188 in 1930 and declined thereafter. The last store closed in Zinc in the late 1960s and the post office closed in 1975.[5]

Zinc, in the 21st century, became the headquarters of a chapter of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK),[5] classified as a hate group by the Anti-Defamation League[6] and the Southern Poverty Law Center.[7] The "Christian Revival Center" near Zinc belongs to a preacher named Thomas Robb who is also the leader of the Knights of the KKK. The center hosts events connected with the KKK, including in 2013 a "Klan Kamp" called the "Soldiers of the Cross Training Institute" to instill "the tools to become actively involved" in the "struggle for our racial redemption".[8]

Other activities of the KKK near Zinc include the placement of signs along highways with messages such as "Diversity is a code for #whitegenocide".[9]

In May 2022, English YouTuber Niko Omilana published a video documenting his experiences in Zinc and Harrison while disguised as a journalist for the BBC. The video includes an interview with Thomas Robb, where he unwittingly shouts out fake Instagram users whose names phoneticize phrases such as "BLM".[10]

Zinc, Arkansas

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
Zinc is an incorporated town in eastern Boone County, Arkansas, United States, with a population of 92 as recorded in the 2020 United States census. The community derives its name from the zinc ore deposits that fueled mining operations in the surrounding Ozark region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Settlement in the area began sparsely after the Civil War, with the first land claim by Elias Barham in 1890, but the town's development accelerated with the discovery and extraction of zinc and lead, which peaked statewide during World War I around 1917 before declining due to market fluctuations and resource exhaustion. Today, Zinc remains a rural locale characterized by its historical ties to extractive industry, low population density, and proximity to the Buffalo National River, though active mining has long ceased, leaving remnants of abandoned sites.

History

Founding and Zinc Mining Era

The community of Zinc in Boone County, Arkansas, traces its origins to the late , when zinc ore deposits were identified in the region as part of the northern Arkansas zinc belt. Elias Barham became the first documented settler, purchasing land in the area in 1890, though evidence suggests he may have occupied it earlier. The settlement's name directly reflects these mineral resources, distinguishing it from agricultural or timber-based communities nearby. Formal establishment of Zinc coincided with infrastructural developments that supported mining. The arrival of the and North Arkansas Railroad around 1900 enabled efficient shipment, spurring population influx and commercial activity. A opened in 1902, marking the town's administrative recognition. operations in Boone County commenced shortly thereafter, with the inaugural rail shipment of zinc from the nearby Almy Mine near Harrison occurring in fall 1901. The zinc mining era in the Zinc area peaked during , fueled by surging demand for the metal in munitions and galvanizing. Arkansas statewide zinc production reached its zenith in 1917, with northern counties including Boone contributing through small-to-medium shafts exploiting veins in formations. Local output supported regional totals, though individual mines around Zinc remained modest compared to larger sites like the Morning Star Mine in adjacent Marion County, discovered in 1880. By the , Zinc's population approached 200 residents, sustained by employment, ore processing, and ancillary services.

Post-Mining Decline and 20th Century Developments

Following the peak of zinc and lead mining during , the industry in Zinc experienced a sharp decline due to plummeting ore prices in the postwar period and exacerbated by the , leading to widespread mine closures and outmigration of workers. By the , production in northern , including Boone County, had significantly diminished as global supply exceeded demand, rendering many operations unprofitable. The town's population reflected this economic contraction: it stood at 144 in 1920 but briefly rose to 188 by 1930 before falling to 119 in 1940, 99 in 1950, and continuing downward to 58 by 1970. A major in devastated local , prompting the construction of a swinging bridge over Sugar Orchard Creek, which was later added to the (though it collapsed in 2014 and was restored in 2015). Around , the Zinc school district consolidated with the larger Bergman district, signaling reduced local viability. In the 1930s, residents attempted diversification with a short-lived tomato cannery, but the economy increasingly relied on and remnant railroad activity rather than industry. Commercial decline culminated in the closure of the last general store in the late 1960s and the in 1975, leaving Zinc as a quiet rural community with minimal services. Despite these setbacks, the area's isolation preserved some historical structures, though the population stabilized at low levels, reaching 76 by 2000.

Recent History and Population Changes

Following the closure of local stores in the late and the discontinuation of the in 1975, Zinc experienced further erosion of community infrastructure, reflecting broader rural depopulation trends in post-mining areas of northern Arkansas. The maintained service through the town into the late 20th century, providing limited connectivity, but economic stagnation persisted amid the absence of diversified industry. In 2009, a rally occurred in the vicinity of Zinc and nearby South Lead Hill, drawing approximately 50 participants, though no such events took place within Zinc proper. A notable local incident in June 2014 involved the collapse of the historic swinging bridge over nearby Bear Creek, listed on the ; repairs were completed by 2015, restoring pedestrian access. Beyond these episodes, Zinc has remained a quiet, unincorporated-like community with minimal documented public events or economic initiatives through 2025, underscoring its status as a small, stable rural enclave. Population in Zinc has shown volatility since 1950, with an overall trend of small size and intermittent growth amid regional outmigration.

The uptick from 76 residents in 2000 to 103 in 2010 reversed earlier declines, possibly linked to affordable rural attracting retirees or remote workers, but numbers fell to 92 by 2020, aligning with Boone County's modest growth patterns while highlighting Zinc's vulnerability to net outmigration. Estimates for 2023-2024 place the population around 60-90, indicating potential further softening, though official decennial data remains the benchmark.

Geography

Location and Physical Features

Zinc is situated in northwestern Boone County, in the northern part of Arkansas, United States, at approximate coordinates 36°17′07″N 92°54′50″W. The town lies within the Ozark Plateau physiographic region, characterized by dissected uplands with elevations ranging from valleys to hilltops. Its central elevation measures 879 feet (268 meters) above sea level. The physical landscape surrounding Zinc features rolling hills, steep valleys, and topography influenced by soluble limestone bedrock, part of the Springfield Plateau subdivision of the . This terrain, with its uneven relief and occasional sinkholes, reflects the geological history of uplift and in northern . The total land area of the incorporated town is 0.75 square miles, predominantly undeveloped or used for low-density residential and agricultural purposes. Nearby water features include tributaries draining into the White River system, contributing to the area's hydrological patterns.

Climate and Environmental Factors

Zinc experiences a typical of the Ozark Mountains region, with hot, humid summers and cool winters. Average annual temperatures range from a low of 29°F in to a high of 89°F in July, with an overall yearly average of 61.7°F. The area receives approximately 46 to 48 inches of precipitation annually, predominantly as rain, with about 8 inches of snowfall concentrated in winter months. Summers feature frequent thunderstorms, contributing to the high rainfall totals, while winters are mild but can include occasional ice storms and freezing temperatures. The growing season spans roughly 200 days, supporting and , though the region is susceptible to events such as tornadoes and flash flooding due to its hilly terrain and . Environmentally, Zinc is situated in the Springfield Plateau of the Ozark Plateaus , characterized by karst topography with limestone bedrock that promotes sinkholes, caves, and rapid infiltration, increasing vulnerability to . Historical zinc and lead mining operations in northern , including deposits in Boone , have left abandoned mines and that contribute to localized heavy metal concentrations in soils and potential leaching into aquifers via . These legacy effects from early 20th-century extraction activities necessitate ongoing monitoring of , as zinc and associated metals can persist in the environment from mining disturbances.

Demographics

The population of Zinc peaked at 188 during the , coinciding with the height of local activity. Following the closure of mines after and during the , the town's population declined sharply, reaching a low of 58 by the 1970 Census, as residents sought employment elsewhere amid the collapse of the mining-based economy. Subsequent decades showed fluctuations, with a modest rebound to 113 in 1980 possibly linked to broader rural migration patterns in Boone County, before stabilizing in the 90-100 range. The 2010 recorded 103 residents, decreasing slightly to 92 by 2020, reflecting ongoing challenges in rural communities such as outmigration and limited economic diversification.

American Community Survey estimates for intervening years vary due to small sample sizes and high margins of error in such locales, with figures ranging from 60 to 90 in recent reports, but decennial census data provides the most reliable benchmark for long-term trends. Overall, Zinc's demographics illustrate the persistent depopulation of former mining towns in the Ozarks, with net losses driven by structural economic shifts rather than acute events.

Socioeconomic Characteristics

The median household income in Zinc was estimated at $34,375 in 2023, well below the statewide median of $58,773, reflecting the economic challenges of a small rural with limited industry following the decline of . was reported at $17,222 the same year, underscoring persistent low earnings amid a of approximately 60 residents. The poverty rate stood at 20%, higher than the state average of around 15.9%, with these figures derived from (ACS) data that carries substantial margins of error due to the town's small size, potentially leading to suppressed or aggregated reporting in official Bureau tables. Educational attainment in Zinc lags behind state norms, with approximately 20% of adults lacking a or equivalent, compared to Arkansas's 12.6% rate, while about 44% hold a as their highest qualification and roughly 31% have some postsecondary . These estimates, again from ACS 5-year data, highlight barriers to higher education in isolated rural areas, where access to institutions is limited and workforce demands historically favored manual labor over advanced degrees. Employment patterns align with broader Boone County trends, emphasizing , , and retail , though specific town-level data is unavailable due to sample size constraints; state-level rural hovered around 3.8% in recent years, but remains a concern in former communities like . Homeownership rates are high, indicative of generational land ties in rural Arkansas, but housing values are modest, averaging under $100,000, which correlates with limited accumulation and to economic shocks. Overall, Zinc's socioeconomic profile embodies the structural disadvantages of depopulated, post-extractive rural locales, where federal assistance programs and to nearby Harrison provide partial mitigation, yet systemic factors like geographic isolation perpetuate disparities.

Racial and Ethnic Composition

According to the , Zinc had a of 92 residents. The racial and ethnic composition was overwhelmingly , reflecting the town's rural character in northern . individuals of non- origin constituted 90% of the (approximately 83 persons), comprising the dominant group. or Latino residents, primarily identified under "Other (Hispanic)" race, accounted for 6.67% (about 6 persons), marking the largest minority ethnic segment. Individuals identifying with two or more races (non-Hispanic) made up 3.33% (around 3 persons), while all other racial categories—such as , Asian, Native American, or —were negligible or zero.

This distribution aligns with broader patterns in Boone County, where exceed 90% regionally, though Zinc's small size limits statistical depth and potential for shifts. No significant historical deviations in racial composition are documented, as the town's mining-era was similarly homogeneous based on available local records.

Economy

Historical Economic Foundations

The economic foundations of , Arkansas, were established around the exploitation of local and lead deposits in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Elias Barham claimed land in the area in 1890, setting the stage for mineral development, while a opened in to support growing settlement tied to prospecting activities. In 1903, a group of investors including principal founder D. W. Cave, T. R. Cave, J. L. Rogers, and R. X. DeGraw organized the Sugar Orchard and Realty Company, which negotiated with the White River Railway Company to extend a rail line through the community and build a depot for efficient transport. This infrastructure was critical, as the first rail shipment of zinc from nearby Boone County mines, such as the Almy Mine near Harrison, occurred in fall 1901, boosting feasibility of large-scale extraction. The town incorporated on March 10, 1904, formalizing its role as a mining support hub. Zinc mining dominated the local economy, producing high-grade silicate ores that fueled a boom during from 1914 to 1918, when wartime demand and federal price supports elevated profitability. Arkansas statewide zinc concentrate output peaked at 6,815 short tons in 1916 from processing 203,600 short tons of crude , with Boone County operations contributing amid irregular but viable deposits. Postwar market saturation and the collapse in zinc prices led to mine closures by the , eroding the town's primary economic base despite brief diversification into ventures like a 1930s tomato cannery.

Modern Economic Activities and Challenges

Zinc's modern economy reflects its small size and rural setting, with residents primarily engaged in service-oriented sectors rather than large-scale industry. The most common employment sectors include health care and social assistance, employing approximately 7 individuals, followed by retail trade with 5 workers and accommodation and food services with 4. These figures underscore a local workforce reliant on small businesses and commuting to nearby Harrison, the Boone County seat, for broader opportunities in manufacturing, retail, and healthcare. Median household income stood at $34,375 in 2023, indicative of limited high-wage jobs in the immediate area. Economic challenges persist due to the town's post-mining transition, which has resulted in business closures and population decline—from 68 residents in 2022 to 60 in 2023, a 11.8% drop. The local job market contracted by 4.0% over the past year, with average annual income at $19,258, well below national averages. Future job growth is projected at 26.0% over the next decade, lagging behind U.S. trends, exacerbating outmigration and straining community viability. Unemployment remains low at 3.8%, but this masks underemployment and dependence on regional economies amid broader Arkansas rural issues like agricultural volatility and workforce shortages.

Government and Community Services

Local Governance Structure

Zinc, Arkansas, operates under the mayor-council form of government standard for small incorporated municipalities in the state. The governing body consists of an elected , who serves as chief executive and presides over meetings as ex officio president of the council, and five aldermen forming the responsible for ordinances, budgets, and local policy. The holds power over council actions, subject to override by a two-thirds vote. A recorder/ position supports administrative functions, including financial record-keeping and compliance reporting as required by state standards. City hall, located at 4276 Broadway Boulevard, serves as the hub for these operations, with contact via phone at 870-427-3990. Elections align with provisions for second-class municipalities, typically featuring nonpartisan ballots for and aldermen terms.

Education, Healthcare, and Infrastructure

Students in Zinc attend public schools within the , which encompasses the town and surrounding areas in eastern Boone County. The district operates , , and , with the high school established in 1930 to serve communities including Zinc following the consolidation of the local Zinc school district around 1927. Enrollment data for the district reflects a small student body consistent with the rural setting, with reporting approximately 300 students as of recent years. Healthcare access for Zinc residents depends on facilities in nearby Harrison, the Boone County seat, approximately 12 miles west. The primary provider is North Arkansas Regional Medical Center (NARMC), a non-profit hospital offering emergency care, surgical services, and specialties including and orthopedics. NARMC serves a regional population exceeding 200,000, with no dedicated medical clinics or hospitals located within itself due to its population of under 100. Health insurance coverage in stands at 68.3% of residents, including enrollment for about 20%, reflecting typical rural patterns where proximity to Harrison mitigates some access barriers. Zinc's infrastructure features a network of county-maintained roads, including Zinc Road, connecting the town to Highway 7 for regional travel. The area lacks municipal sewer systems, relying instead on individual septic setups common in rural Boone County, while services are provided through regional districts under state oversight. is supplied by cooperatives such as North Arkansas Electric Cooperative, supporting basic residential and limited commercial needs in this low-density community. Statewide initiatives, including $575 million allocated in 2025 for infrastructure improvements, aim to enhance rural systems like those serving , though no Zinc-specific projects have been detailed.

Notable Landmarks and Sites

The Zinc Mining District in Boone County preserves remnants of early 20th-century zinc extraction operations that spurred the town's development. Key among these is the Almy Mine, which achieved a regional milestone by loading the first rail car of zinc ore from Boone County in fall 1901, transported via the St. Louis and North Arkansas Railway to processing facilities. This operation focused on calamine (smithsonite), a zinc carbonate ore prevalent in the area's dolomite formations, and positioned the Almy as an early notable producer amid Arkansas's nascent zinc industry. The Jackpot Mine, proximate to Zinc proper, exemplifies intermittent wartime activity, with production during and a resumption from 1943 to 1944 to meet strategic mineral demands. Mineralization here occurred in the Everton Dolomite and St. Joseph , yielding and associated lead ores typical of northern deposits. Additional prospects within the district, such as the Coker Hollow Mine, Coon Hollow Mine, and Frisco Mine, supported small-scale efforts but contributed to the local economy through ore hand-picking and concentration before larger-scale milling became feasible. These abandoned shafts, adits, and tailing piles, though inaccessible and overgrown, stand as physical testaments to zinc mining's role in populating and sustaining until market slumps and resource exhaustion curtailed operations post-World War I. Unlike the more extensively documented Rush Historic District in adjacent Marion County, Zinc's sites lack formal preservation status but align with the broader north zinc belt's geological and economic legacy, where output peaked statewide between 1914 and 1917. Mining community infrastructure ties into surviving structures like the Elliott and Anna Barham House, built in 1917 for Elliott Barham, son of founder Elias Barham, who prospected small mines, ran a store for miners, and facilitated land sales for development. This residence at 4085 West Street, recognized for its architectural integrity and ties to local pioneers, entered the on January 21, 2004 (NRHP ID: 03001453).

National Register Listings

The Elliott and Anna Barham House, located at 4085 West Street in Zinc, is a one-story wood-frame residence constructed in 1917 in the architectural style. Built for Elliott Barham, son of Zinc's founder Elias Barham, and his wife Anna, the house features a gabled roof, decorative brackets, and a front porch supported by turned columns. It was added to the on January 5, 2004, under reference number 03001453, recognizing its local architectural and historical significance tied to the town's early development. The Zinc Swinging Bridge, spanning Sugar Orchard Creek near the town center, is Arkansas's oldest surviving foot , dating to . Constructed with wire cables and wooden decking, it facilitated pedestrian and light vehicular crossings in the rural mining community. Listed on the , the bridge partially collapsed due to flooding on June 13, 2014, but underwent repairs and reopened to the public in 2015, preserving its role as a key historic transportation link.

Controversies and External Perceptions

Ku Klux Klan Presence and Activities

In the early , Zinc and surrounding eastern Boone County became associated with the presence of a faction known as the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, which maintains a remote compound in the area used for organizational activities. This group, operating under the leadership of figures linked to Pastor Thom Robb's ministry, has hosted events at the site, including gatherings tied to Klan ideology such as cross lightings and ideological congresses. The compound's location near , a town with a of just 92 as of the 2020 , has drawn external attention despite the community's small size and rural isolation. Activities at the compound have included recruitment efforts, ideological , and public displays aligned with supremacist and separatist views, though the group's membership remains and fragmented compared to historical Klan peaks. Boone County's broader historical context of racial exclusion, including the 1905 and 1909 Harrison race riots that expelled nearly all from the county seat, has been cited by observers as potentially enabling such modern persistence, though direct causal links to Zinc's specific case are unestablished. The Knights Party's operations emphasize anti-immigration, anti-Jewish, and segregationist rhetoric, distinguishing it from earlier 20th-century Klan iterations focused on Prohibition enforcement and in . Local residents in Zinc have publicly disavowed the group's presence, emphasizing that the compound does not represent the town's values or , which centers on rather than . In response to the Klan's visibility, protests occurred in 2020, including a Black Lives Matter-organized march to on August 2, drawing participants from across to demand its dismantlement, and subsequent counter-events like community cookouts in nearby Harrison aimed at against . These events highlighted tensions between the isolated Klan outpost and broader regional efforts to reject hate group influence, with no reported violence but ongoing media scrutiny of Boone County's association.

Protests, Media Coverage, and Local Responses

In August 2020, amid nationwide demonstrations, a group organized by Bridge the Gap NWA, comprising over 80 activists from , marched through to protest the presence of the , specifically targeting the residence and compound associated with Thomas Robb, national director of the Knights Party, a KKK successor organization. The event on August 2, described as peaceful, involved chants against racism and hate groups, with participants expressing personal grievances, including one protester noting family ties to the KKK but voicing strong opposition. Local residents appeared surprised by the out-of-town gathering in the small community of roughly 100 people, with no reported counter-protests or violence, though one activist carried a for symbolic use against KKK imagery. Media coverage focused primarily on local outlets, including KUAF Public Radio, , KY3, and KNWA, which reported the march's logistics, participant motivations, and its connection to broader 2020 racial justice protests, often linking Zinc to nearby Harrison's reputation for KKK activity despite the compound's location in Zinc. National attention was limited but included ABC News coverage of related anti-KKK efforts in the region, such as activist Aaron Clarke's attempts to engage locals through community events like barbecues near Harrison. These reports generally portrayed the Zinc protest as a targeted rebuke of a fringe element rather than a town-wide issue, with emphasis on the activists' travel from urban areas to rural Boone County. Local responses emphasized disavowal of the KKK, with Zinc residents, including historian Nita Gould, publicly stating in September 2020 that the group does not represent the and highlighting the town's mining heritage over any association with hate organizations. Officials and locals in nearby Harrison, often conflated in media narratives, have similarly sought to distance the area from the Knights Party, noting the organization's isolation in rural outskirts and ongoing efforts to remove symbolic markers like "" billboards. No formal town statements condemned the protest itself, reflecting the 's low profile and focus on rejecting rather than engaging external .
