Biographical/Historical Note
The town of Collins, Arkansas, was first called Cut-Off as it was located just west of Cut-Off Creek in Drew County. Collins was a stage coach stop, and by 1872 it had a terminal for the railroad. This trade route was an important stop for cotton, hogs, and timber products. It was incorporated as a town in 1892. The town elected officials and aldermen to a town council, the legislative body that governed the town limits. These individuals were elected to ensure the town fulfilled its obligations to its citizens.
