Hargreaves Homestead Rural Historic District
Phillips County
The 320-acre Hargreaves Homestead district has been family owned since its establishment. Henry Hargreaves, an emigrant from Liverpool, England, filed a pre-emption claim on the southwest quarter of the section in spring 1887. Hargreaves’ highly successful farming and ranching operation was touted in circa -1920s promotional brochures published by the railroad.
In 1964, the Hargreaves installed a new flood irrigation system, switching crop production from dryland wheat to irrigated corn. The property meets the registration requirements outlined in the Historic Resources of Phillips County Multiple Property Documentation Form.
