At that time, the women’s rights movement had just struck.Empowered, the women of Mount Nebo saw many changes needed in the town that the male city council members were not enacting. At reelection time, the women ran for office, in some cases against their husbands, brothers, and fathers. A female mayor and a female city council were elected in April 1924. During their time in office, the women made many improvements, but their efforts were not enough to bring more people to the mountaintop. In 1926, in efforts to re-popularize the mountain, the Dardanelle Chamber of Commerce proposed to make Mount Nebo a state park. Many of the delegates attending the Sixth National Conference of State Parks that year were summer residents of Mount Nebo and in favor of the idea. The first step in instituting the state park was for the State Park Commission to acquire the land. A call for donations of land was made, and in 1928, a deed of 500 acres owned by the staten due to delinquent taxes was handed over to the commission. In addition, the state negotiated for 800 acres close to the base of the mountain, which were owned by the Missouri-Pacific Railroad. After 1929, and through the Great Depression, even more land was acquired due to delinquent taxes. Mount Nebo State Park became Arkansas’s second state park in 1928. Private ownership of and within the park boundaries remains today, making Mount Nebo unique among the Arkansas state parks.
