This week’s posting will conclude my articles on the Town of Imboden. In 1970s the Bank Imboden donated the original Bank of Imboden building site, corner of North Hickory and Highway 63, to Town of Imboden. Members of the Imboden Volunteer Fire Department under the leadership of Ray Poteet and Dick Livingston, with revenue sharing funds, built a fire station to house equipment meeting room/city hall. Location served as main fire station city hall until Town of Imboden, with cooperation with Sloan-Hendrix School, built a new larger station on Highway 115 on south side of Sloan-Henddrix campus. Imboden has added a city office to the building and leases a portion of the building to the Arkansas Forestry Service. The old fire station, corner of North Hickory and Highway 63, is now occupied by Pro-Med Ambulance Service who furnishes a full-time ambulance service for Imboden and surrounding area.
