Mena, Arkansas, was founded by a group of investors led by a man named John C. Johnson in the late 19th century. The town was established in 1896 when the railroad reached the area, which contributed significantly to its growth and development. It was named after Mena, a town in Spain, reflecting the influence of Spanish culture in the region. The community quickly grew as a center for timber and agriculture.
