About Patterson
Patterson is a city in Woodruff County, Arkansas, United States. The population was 310 as of the 2020 Census.
The townsite was originally known as Martin’s Junction, because the junction of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway with the Batesville and Brinkley Railroad occurred at this spot. The town name later changed to Jelks, and it was briefly the western terminus of a third railroad, the McCrory and Beedeville Southern Railway, which arrived in 1911 but was bankrupt and out of business by 1914. The town name changed again to Patterson in 1919. While the town still has a rail connection, the junction is gone because the successors of the Batesville and Brinkley removed that line around the start of World War II.
