History

The Hot Springs Railroad, often referred to as the Diamond Jo line, was established as a narrow-gauge railroad by Chicago businessman Joseph Reynolds (businessman) Reynolds in 1874. Because Malvern was the closest railroad station to Hot Springs, it became an important junction point for passengers transferring from rail to stagecoach to complete their journey to the spas in Hot Springs. The city had a population of 9,021 at the time of the United States Census, 2000 census, and is also called the "Brick Capital of the World", due to the three Acme Brick plants in the area. By 1902 passenger train shuttle service through Malvern had essentially ended. The Malvern Police Department has lost three officers in the line of duty, all shot to death during the 1930s.
