Education played an important role in the development of the community, which was first settled in 1839. The history of Quitman is woven around the establishment of the Quitman Male and Female College in 1889. Quitman citizens incurred much personal expense to establish this institution. Quitman's economy boomed. Many businesses opened in the town including five hotels. The college was even enlarged. Quitman became known as "The Athens of Arkansas".
