Alma

The Arkansas River defines the setting of Alma — the city lies in its broad western Arkansas valley, where fertile bottomland meets the wooded foothills of the Ozarks. Alma is widely known as the Spinach Capital of the World, a title linked to the local spinach-canning industry that shaped its identity during the 20th century. That legacy is marked by the annual Alma Spinach Festival and by the city’s association with Popeye, the spinach-eating cartoon sailor. Near Fort Smith, Alma forms part of the Arkansas River Valley’s long-established transport and commercial corridor.
