Archives International Auctions - The Huntsville Collection 2 November 21, 2023 Archives International Auctions www.archivesinternational.com Carrollton - Carrollton was once the seat of Carroll County and is now an unincorporated community in northwest Arkansas. Named for the signer of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll, Carrollton was home to a post office and other businesses before the Civil War. Skirmishes with local Native American tribes led to the creation of a militia, later called upon to help restore peace in the Tutt-Everett War. Some of the surviving children of the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre, an attack on Arkansas travelers by Mormons and a few Native Americans, went on to live in Carrollton. Unfortunately, the Civil War wreaked havoc on the estimated 2,000 citizens of the town. The area saw significant action during the war, as many Union units camped in and around Carrollton. Guerrillas were also active in the early 1860s, whose damage contributed to the slow recovery of Carrollton following the Civil War’s end. 3 3 Carrollton, Arkansas.
