OPINION | REX NELSON: A history of hospitality by Rex Nelson | Today at 1:47 a.m. By the 1930s, the era known as the Big Cut which had begun in the 1880s as northern-owned companies moved into Arkansas to harvest virgin timber was ending. In the pine-covered hills of southwest Arkansas, that meant a loss of jobs. Montgomery County had a population of 12,455 in the 1910 census. By the 1960 census, that number had dropped to 5,370.
