Bella Vista, Arkansas was first established in 1965 as a summer resort town. Up until recently it was considered primarily an affluent retirement area. However, recent growth created by young couples and families has diversified the population. Many of these younger people have moved into this area because Wal-Mart corporate offices are located in Bentonville, which is a stone’s throw away from Bella Vista.
Of course, with growth comes recreation and the need for entertainment, restaurants and many other activities to enjoy.
