Nothing in Arimo is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Arimo has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is McCammon State Bank Building in McCammon, 6.6 miles away.

How a place gets listed

1Talk to the stateEvery nomination goes through the State Historic Preservation Office. Owners, towns and historical societies can start one.

3Write it upA nomination covers the history, photos and a map. McCammon State Bank Building’s page links to a real one.
