History

Tackett Mountain, located in the southeastern Ozarks of Arkansas, is likely named after early settler families with the Tackett/Tackitt surname who arrived in the region during the 1800s. Like many Ozark landmarks, it was recorded on early U.S. Geological Survey maps and has since served as a recognizable local high point. The surrounding area reflects the rich frontier history of the Ozarks, including pioneer settlement, small-scale farming, and forest use, giving the mountain both natural beauty and cultural significance.
