Excerpt from the book "Conway County - Our Land, Our Home, Our People":
The development of Morrilton on land donated from the Morrill and the Moose farms into the trading and political center of the county began with the opening of railroad service to Lewisburg - or more precisely, to the Lewisburg station, a point on the tracks some distance from Lewisburg, which was to become Morrilton. The growth of the town scarcely qualified the community as a "Boomtown". In fact, it was ten or twelve years before Morrilton supplanted Lewisburg as the major community of the area. Although the train service opened in 1870, and folks began to move from Lewisburg and the surrounding area to the rail station area, it was not until 1880 that Morrilton was incorporated as a town. The Petition to Incorporate was filed for record November 24, 1879 with W. Coneer, Clerk of the Conway County Court, and approved January 16, 1880. The petiton and the signatures of the petitioners read as follows:
TOWN OF MORRILTON
J.T. Hannaford, et al,
Petitioners to Incorporate
To the Conway County Court:
Your petitioners inhabitants of the territory described as the W1/2 of the NE1/4 and the E1/2 fo the NW fractional 1/4 of Sec. 19, Township 6 North of Range 16 West, all in Conway County, Arkansas, and on which the Town of Morrilton is now situated, a plat of which is now on file in the Clerk's office, respectfully pray that the said territory be organized and incorporated in to a town corporation to be known as the Incorporated Town of Morrilton and that the same be vested with all the rights and privileges which under the law belong to incorporated towns. Moose as the person to act for us in the prosecution of this Petition. Hannaford
