About Arab, Alabama
Arab is a city of 8,461 people on top of Brindlee Mountain. Most of it lies in Marshall County, with a small part in Cullman County. Stephen Tuttle Thompson arrived in west Marshall County as a boy about 1840, and in 1858 he moved to the spot that grew into Thompson's Village. When he applied for a post office in 1882, he sent Washington three names: Ink, Blue Bird and Arad. He hoped the office would honor his son, Ranson Arad Riley Thompson.
The postal department picked Arad, but a clerk in Washington wrote it as Arab, and the misspelled name stuck. Locals say it "ey-rab." Arab was incorporated on December 10, 1892, and Thompson's son, J.R.N. Thompson, became its first mayor. Much of the original town was built on what had been the Thompson family farm.
- The founder became postmasterStephen Tuttle Thompson was born in Rhea County, Tennessee, on Feb. 22, 1832. He became Arab's first postmaster in 1882. He later worked as deputy tax assessor, and voters elected him county commissioner on the Republican ticket. He died March 1, 1912, and was buried in the Methodist Church Cemetery. A historical marker honoring him went up in 2008 at South Main Street and Cullman Road.
- From farm town to boomArab lived on the farms around it for decades. Its first telephone line came in 1908, the Bank of Arab opened in 1909, the first high school followed in 1922, and electric power arrived in 1928. From about 1933, William Harrison's Farmer's Exchange downtown was the center of the farm trade. The town grew fast after Huntsville's Marshall Space Flight Center and Redstone Arsenal opened, because those two drew workers from across the country.
- Arab Historic VillageThe Arab Historic Village was started in 1991 on the grounds of Arab City Park. Its ten buildings represent periods running from the late nineteenth century up to the 1940s. Each year on the last Saturday in April, its Back When Day shows visitors how people quilted, milled corn and worked as blacksmiths.
- Poke Salat Bluegrass FestivalEach year bluegrass music takes over the town's downtown streets when the third Saturday in May comes around. The festival is named for poke salat, a folk dish made from pokeweed. The plant is poisonous and has to be prepared carefully before anyone can eat it. The city also holds its Park and Recreation Horse Show in the park arena on the second Saturday of each July.
