Arno
was a community promoted to out-of-state settlers looking for fertile
land. Evidently the promoters weren't convincing enough, or the settlers
moved on to greener pastures - or at least pastures that had some
green.
A post office was granted and was open from 1907 until 1915.
The community had a population of ten in the 1930s - making it a rival
to relatively nearby Orla.
Something occurred in the late 1940s to make the resident population
leave. The 1950 census enumerator found the town empty. |
