Editing Winslow, Arkansas (section)

==History==
A stagecoach stop for many years, the community now known as Winslow first received a post office on December 11, 1876, known as Summit Home. The town grew significantly upon completion of the Winslow Tunnel, which allowed the [[St. Louis – San Francisco Railway]] (Frisco) to run through the steep [[Boston Mountains]] of south [[Washington County, Arkansas|Washington County]].<ref>{{ cite book |title=Washington County History |chapter=Winslow Tunnel |publisher=[[Shiloh Museum of Ozark History]] |year=1989 |location=Springdale, Arkansas |page=238 }}</ref> The town was renamed to Winslow on August 3, 1881, in honor of [[Edward Francis Winslow|Edward F. Winslow]], president of the Frisco Railroad.<ref name="hist" /> The town became a somewhat [[resort town]] for its picturesque peaks at the end of the 19th century, drawing many wealthy from the [[Fort Smith, Arkansas|Fort Smith]] area to summer there. It was incorporated on February 17, 1905.
