Pyatt, Arkansas, population about 250, is located in Marion County, Arkansas, amid the beautiful Ozark Mountains.

The railroad began coming through the area in 1901 and the Foster and Bradford families donated property for the town. Other families soon moved to the area to work on the railroad.

The original old school house is on the National Register of Historic Places. It and the community building were both constructed by WPA workers in the early 1930s from hand-quarried rock. The first bank, the Bank of Pyatt, is still standing. It has been renovated but retains the original look and structure. This building is also made from hand-quarried stone.

There is excellent smallmouth bass fishing available in Crooked Creek. Bull Shoals Lake, the Buffalo National River and the White River, a world-famous trout stream, are also nearby.

Nearest Interstate highways are Interstate 44 (100 miles north) and Interstate 40 (100 miles south).
