Pine Bluff was once Cotton Belt railway hub The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - Arkansas' Best News Source

In 1875, the St. Louis Southwestern Railway began in Tyler, Texas. James W. Paramore, who led a group of investors that later owned the company, saw this railroad as a way to establish St. Louis as the primary gateway for selling cotton from the southwest in eastern markets. Thus the St. Louis Southwestern Railway became better known as the Cotton Belt.
