History[edit]
Springdale was formerly called "Shiloh", after the local Shiloh church, and wasplattedunder that original name in 1866.[10]In 1878, the town was incorporated with the name of Springdale.[11]
In 2020, Voters of the city ofBethel Heightsdecided to merge with Springdale after the city sanitation plant received several violations from theArkansas Health Department.[12]The city was eventually annexed on August 21st, 2020.[13]
An intense EF3 tornado struck the town onMarch 30,2022, heavily damaging or destroying several structures and injuring seven people.

Springdale is bordered by the cities ofCave Springs,Lowell,to the north, byElm SpringsandTontitownto the west, and byJohnsonandFayettevilleto the south.
The city is located in both Benton and Washington counties alongInterstate 49/US Highway 62/US Highway 71(I-49/US 62/US 71).[15]This is the onlyfully controlled accessroute through the area, which replaced the winding US 71 (nowUS 71B) in the 1990s.[16]An interstate connection withFort Smithto the south andKansas City, Missouri,to the north has greatly helped to grow Springdale.[7]Within Washington County, Springdale is bordered along the south by Fayetteville and Johnson. In some locations, this transition is seamless.[16]The city extends west and east alongHighway 412toward Tontitown andBeaver Lake,respectively.[16]

In recent decades, Northwest Arkansas has seen rapid growth and diversification of its economy based upon the three Fortune 500 companies based there—Walmart,Tyson Foods,andJ.B. Hunt—while also seeing a growingUniversity of Arkansasand cultural amenities sector. Although impacted by theGreat Recession,Northwest Arkansas' economy fared better than most peer metropolitan areas, the state of Arkansas and the United States overall. Between 2007 and 2013, the region saw unemployment rates significantly below those of peer regions and the national average, while also seeing a 1% net growth of jobs. The region'sgross domestic productgrew 7.0% over the aforementioned time period and bankruptcies, building permits, and per capita incomes are returning to pre-Recession rates.[30]
The professional, education, and health care sectors of Northwest Arkansas' economy have been growing steadily since 2007.

The construction and real estate sectors saw large declines attributable to the poor housing market during the economic downturn.
