===Historic communities===
* '''Elixir''' was a town in the vicinity of many springs. It was nearby present day [[Bergman, Arkansas|Bergman]]. Heavy rains flooded the town in 1883, which was a major factor in its decline by 1892. In the 1880s, both [[Lead Hill, Arkansas|Lead Hill]] and Elixir were expecting a railroad but none materialized. This also helped the town's decline. Although the town is gone, the township of [[Elixir Township, Boone County, Arkansas|Elixir]] remains and currently contains [[Bergman, Arkansas|Bergman]].<ref name="Butler">{{Cite book |last=Butler |first=Kent |title=Bergman - A Backward Look |date=April 1995}}</ref>
