Arcadia

Population: (2000) 391 (1990) 338. Elevation: 830 feet. An incorporated city in Crawford County.

The "Neutral Lands" were ceded by the Cherokee Nation to the United States by the treaty of July 19, 1866. Prior to that treaty some attempts were made by white men to settle within the territory. James Hathaway had established a blacksmith shop where Arcadia now stands in 1844, some 24 years before the treaty. Before the treaty was signed, many of the white settlers were forcibly ejected from their homesteads by the Calvary, on order from the US President.
