Wilson is a historic town in Mississippi County, Arkansas. It was founded in the late 1800s by Robert Lee E. Wilson and is part of the Great River Road.
Wilson started as a company town for Robert E. Lee Wilson's nearby logging and sawmill operation founded in 1886. The village prospered when Wilson decided to use the cleared land for agriculture instead of selling it after logging.
After Wilson's son, Wilson Jr., and his wife returned from their England honeymoon enthralled with the Tudor style in 1925, all subsequent public buildings were built with Tudor architecture, including retrofits to all existing public structures.
The town incorporated in 1959, selling the houses to the renters living in them. Today the population of the town is around 1,000.
