A Look Back in Time
Arcadia was officially planned and marked out in 1885. This happened because everyone knew a railroad was coming soon. The village's name was chosen earlier, in 1874. Sarah Coulter Hawthorne, who was the postmaster, picked the name. She thought "Arcadia" meant "feast of flowers." She chose it because of the many wild roses growing nearby. It turns out the name actually refers to a peaceful, natural place, which still fits Arcadia well!
