AT&T’s commitment to Arkansas is second to none. The company’s roots in this state can be traced as far back as 1879, when the �rst switchboard began operating with just 10 customers. Since that time, AT&T has become the largest provider of mobile voice and broadband service, high-speed Internet, and landline voice services in Arkansas. More than 2,500 Arkansans work for AT&T, and the company generates approximately $170 million in local and state taxes that support vital programs in our state. In just three years, AT&T has invested more than $500 million on its wireless and wired networks in Arkansas – and it’s still investing to meet customer needs. The easiest way to get to know AT&T’s products and services is through its retail locations. AT&T has 27 company-owned stores around the state, and there are more than 100 authorized dealers. AT&T’s award-winning U-verse is expanding in Arkansas. Whether through a TV, the Internet or on a mobile device, U-verse o�ers hundreds of channels, movies and video-on-demand services.

*Sherwood did not have its unique zip code of 72120 until 1995. Prior to 1995, parts of Sherwood shared the 72116 zip code with North Little Rock. It took over 20 years and 4 mayors with countless letters and
phone calls to secure the 72120 zip for the whole city of Sherwood.
*In 1985 when cabooses were removed by the railroads, one was donated to Sherwood and placed
in Delmont Park. It was later decided that the caboose was
better suited at its present location in Thornhill Park, behind the
Municipal Complex.
