In 2004 Alan Richard of Education Week wrote that the only notable features of Briggsville were the highway, some of its houses, and the Fourche Valley School.[3]

Briggsville is the hometown of actor Jacob Lofland.

At a Democratic Party rally in Russellville, Arkansas in 1976, Bill Clinton spoke of "the breathtaking beauty of our Arkansas spring", and then listed several towns including Briggsville; "I know them all, and they are home to me because of you".[4]


Education


Two Rivers School District serves the area.[5][6] It operates two schools: Two Rivers Elementary School and Two Rivers High School.

Previously it was assigned to the Fourche Valley School, a K-12 school,[7] operated by the Fourche Valley School District. On July 1, 2004, the Fourche Valley district merged into the Two Rivers district.[8] The merged district continued to operate the Fourche Valley School until 2009, when the majority of the members of the district board voted to close it.[9] Students were reassigned to Plainview-Rover Elementary School and Plainview-Rover High School.[10] In 2010 the latter closed due to the opening of the consolidated Two Rivers High School,[11] and the Plainview-Rover elementary consolidated into Two Rivers Elementary in 2012.[12]
