History

At the time the first Toledo courthouse burned down in 1889, New Edinburg had a population of 200. The unincorporated area was in the running to receive the county seat along with Rison, Kingsland, and Beasley's Switch. None of the towns managed to get a majority vote, so a second election was held. Rison won the county seat and it remains the seat today.

According to Arkansas Preservation, in the late 1800s, W. D. Attwood built a Queen Anne Classic-style residence in New Edinburg. Attwood was a town merchant and built the first brick store, the Attwood Mercantile Store. The location of Attwood's store is now the home of McClellan's Country Store, the only mercantile establishment in New Edinburg. In 1917, Emmett Moseley altered Attwood's house to its current appearance. [7] The building is still a private residence, and in 1994 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. [8]
