Founded during the construction of the first railroad across Arkansas and named for one of the builders (Hugh Brinkley), the town eventually became a crossroads and a center of commerce by the 1880s.
Brinkley is located along historic trails such as the Butterfield Overland Mail Route from Memphis to Fort Smith (a mail route established in 1858); the route used by U.S. Generals Steele and Curtis during the second phase of the Pea Ridge Campaign; and the historic relocation movement of the southeastern Indian tribes during the Trail of Tears. These passages, along with other historically significant routes, are now part of the Arkansas Heritage Trails System.
