The story so far
from Wikipedia & the U.S. CensusStaves is a census-designated place in Cleveland County, Arkansas, United States. Per the 2020 census, the population was 133. Staves was known locally as the "Y" Community, because State Route 212 created a "Y" where it intersected State Route 35, with connectors leading both north and south from State Route 212's east–west direction. The road has since been modified and a third stretch of road has been added to connect State Route 212 at a 90-degree angle to State Route 35.
Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 116 to 133 (+15%). Half of its homes were built before 2004.
