Historical context
Alma grew in the late 19th century as a railroad and agricultural community and kept a small-town identity in the decades that followed. The interstate era changed its role: Interstate 40 passes the city, and the highway north to Northwest Arkansas, today I-49, begins here.
Modern relevance
New residential subdivisions have appeared on the city's edges, while downtown keeps a walkable core. US-71 north from Alma is the scenic route into the Boston Mountains and Lake Fort Smith State Park. The Alma School District serves the city. Alma is about 15 miles northeast of Fort Smith, roughly 20 minutes via I-40 and I-540.
