This is one of four Arkansas Historical Markers at the Caddo Gap Indian statue; this one is at the northeast corner of the monument. All four markers have the same text on both sides. These markers and a plaque on the monument itself tell the story of how Spanish conquistador Hernando DeSoto encountered and fought Tula Indians here, and some history of the area and of the town itself.
MARKER TEXT:
Settled before 1850, the first village was located near the natural gap or narrows of the Caddo River. The coming of the Gurdon and Fort Smith Railroad in 1907 led to the construction of the present town on what was formerly the Jim Vaught plantation. For several years Caddo Gap was a popular health resort.
