“Quicktown” was a small community of neighborhoods on the southwest side of Fayetteville.
It sprang up near the intersection of present-day Leroy Pond Avenue and present-day Prairie Street during the 1880s, partly as a result of establishment of the Pacific & Greater Eastern Railroad and sustained by creation of the Ozark and Cherokee Central Railroad, which built a small depot just south near Wall Street (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard).
Today, the Mill District falls within that area. The area was named for the Quick family: James W. Quick, a blacksmith, and his son William R. Quick, both of whom helped establish small businesses in the surrounding neighborhood.
