History
During the first half of the 19th century, what is now Biggers was part of a large plantation owned by Arkansas governor Thomas Stevenson Drew. In 1889, a businessman named Benjamin Franklin Bigger, the town’s namesake, bought the land at the town site and established a ferry and distillery. In 1901, a depot was established with the completion of the Southern Missouri and Arkansas Railroad (later part of the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway).
