Welcome to Foreman!
Whether you're looking for a great fishing destination, a once-in-a-lifetime trophy elk or whitetail deer hunt or just want to take in the great outdoors for a few days, Foreman is the perfect place to do it!
The area's unspoiled natural surroundings and miles of river and lake shoreline make Southwest Arkansas one of the best kept secrets in the 'Natural State'. And Foreman sits right in the middle of it all!
At less than 20 miles off Interstate 30, Foreman makes a wonderful small town excursion during RV trips. Take in some shopping in old downtown, stop by the museum for an interesting look at the areas pioneering history or just enjoy the view as you pass through for lunch at one of the local diners.
Foreman is full of friendly folks, and we're always happy to talk to strangers!
So take time to discover the road less traveled... discover Foreman.

Wreyford becomes new City Marshal |
|
Foreman has officially announced Ronnie Wreyford as the city's new Marshal as of March, 1. Wreyford comes from a long line of police experience having served as a deputy in Hempstead County and an officer with the Prescott Police Department. He had retired in 2009, but decided to come out of retirement when he learned of the Foreman Marshal position. As head of Foreman's police force, Wreyford told Staff Reporter Jud Powell of Little River News, “I want to increase the visibility of our officers" and “I want folks to know that we are out there looking after them.” The new Marshal also noted he plans to increase training among the city's current officers.

Patience pays off. Foreman is getting a new water tower! |
More than a decade after officially voting to replace it's old, dilapidated water tower, Foreman residents will soon be drinking from a brand new tank. After evaluating it for upgrades and maintenance over 11 years ago, the city council then determined the old water tower would be less costly to replace than renovate. Since that time, the tower has stood largely unchanged receiving only essential maintenance to ensure safety and water quality. However, the exterior could not be painted because it was coated in older, lead-based paint which, according to State and Federal regulations, would have entailed an enormous cost to strip and dispose of properly. So, the old tank stood in disrepair as the city worked to save money and secure funding for a new one.
