Northwest Arkansas · City guide

Springdale.

NWA's largest city (92,000) and the most working-class of the four core cities — home to Tyson Foods, Arvest Ballpark, a significant Marshallese community, and some of the best Mexican and Central American food in the state. The most affordable of the four major cities, and the one changing character fastest as the region grows. Less polished than its neighbors, more honest.

Nearby in NWA: Johnson, Lowell, and Tontitown.
