City of West Fork, AR.

City of West Fork, AR. West Fork was founded in the 1880s on the banks of the West Fork of the White River.

West Fork, nestled in the Ozark Mountains, is ten miles south of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Arkansas, and a half-hour drive to the home offices of Wal- Mart and Tyson. West Fork is nearby to popular destinations such as the Crystal Bridges Museum, Beaver Lake, Devil's Den State Park with hiking and biking trails, and the War Eagle Mill Arts and Crafts Fair. Founded by the timbe

r industry, milling, and railroad commerce, our historic homes, parks, library, Farmers Market and community events preserve a small town feel in an area of rapid growth with a diverse and an expanding economy. Our beautiful Ozark Mountain scenery, mild four seasons, one of the best school districts in Arkansas, and opportunities for employment, recreation and higher education, make West Fork "Where the Best Begins".

The City of West Fork extends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Michael “Butch” Bartholomew.

Butch dedicated more than four decades of service to the City of West Fork, faithfully serving our community from 1971 until his retirement in 2014. His commitment, hard work, and unwavering dedication to the citizens of West Fork helped shape our city and touched countless lives along the way.

Butch was more than an employee—he was a trusted friend, mentor, and an icon of our community. His legacy of service and devotion to West Fork will not be forgotten, and the impact he made will be felt for generations to come.

The City of West Fork has lost a true legend. Our thoughts and prayers are with Butch’s family during this difficult time as we honor and remember a man who gave so much to the community he loved.
