History


Arkoe was platted in 1874 by Dr. P. H. Talbott.[6] The origin of the name "Arkoe" is obscure.[6] An early variant name was "Bridgewater".[6] A post office called Bridgewater was established in 1871, the name was changed to Arkoe in 1877, and the post office closed in 1953.[7]

On September 18, 1880, first settler Dr. Talbott was shot and killed at his home.[8] His wife, Belle, and his sons Charles Edward and Albert Perry, were initially suspected and arrested for his murder. Eventually, Belle was released and the sons were tried for their father's murder. Both were convicted and sentenced to hang. They were executed in the Beal Pasture (today Beal Park), on the east side of Maryville, on July 22, 1881.
