The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Robert E. Lee Wilson, a prominent late-19th century planter, established several small towns in Arkansas. These include Armorel, Marie, and Wilson - all of which are also in Mississippi County - as well as Victoria itself, which was named after his sister. Wilson's daughter, also named Victoria, married Frank Wesson (an heir of the firearms manufacturer), and the company they established, now known as "Wesson Farms", still operates much of the land around Victoria. The town incorporated in 1966 and reported a population of nearly 200 four years later, but it has gradually declined since.
