History

John Cooper, Sr. purchased 400 acres along the South Fork River in 1948 to create a summer retreat for his family.  He soon realized others would also love having a place for their families to retreat, so he began purchasing additional land totaling 2,400 acres. He then began carving out lots for building homes and construction of lakes.  In 1954 he founded Cherokee Village Development Company as the first planned recreation community in the state and one of the first of its kind in the nation.

Cherokee Village was dedicated in June 1955 with one lake and an airstrip.

In 1976 a Suburban Improvement District was formed under the Arkansas State Improvement District Act of 1941; Cherokee Village Suburban Improvement District  (CVSID) provided services such as fire protection, street and public maintenance, police security, parks and recreation.

In 1997 Cherokee Village (CV) began with the incorporation of Cherokee Village West in the Fulton County portion of the area.  In 1998, the Sharp County portion was annexed and the entire area became a city.  As a result, we are the largest city in the tri-county area of Fulton, Izard and Sharp County.  When CV became a city, CVSID and the city split the duties.  The city is responsible for Police, Fire, Streets, District Court, Planning & Zoning.  CVSID continued to care for the parks and recreation, which includes the golf courses, parks and lakes.

The city now covers over 13,000 acres with over 300 miles of hard surface roads. 2020 Census has the Cherokee Village population at 4,780 residents.  Cherokee Village has 7 lakes, 2 Golf courses, outdoor pool, marinas, 3 fire stations, many churches, clubs and organizations.  Cherokee Village is a first class municipality governed by a mayor-council form of government.
