Hiram Whittington died in 1890, but his legacy is still very much alive in the northwestern part of Hot Springs. For instance, an avenue, a historic district, a park and a creek bear his name.
Hiram Whittington was an adventurous soul. Born in Boston in 1805, he came to Arkansas during its Territorial days, first to Little Rock and then to Hot Springs, making an impact that Spa City residents and visitors can appreciate to this day.
