About Our Community
A Proud Past and a Promising Future
The City of Arbyrd has a rich history in the Missouri Bootheel. The first post office in Arbyrd was established in 1911 and the town incorporated in 1919, becoming a fourth class city in 1937. The town got its name from A.R. Byrd, a land speculator from St. Louis who purchased 4000 acres in the area.
The early school system was the home of the Tigers before it was consolidated with Cardwell Missouri. A scholarship fund has been established (Remember the Tigers) to help new graduates.
Arbyrd is home to one manufacturing facility, one grocery store, one car wash, and a farm implement store. The current population is just less than 500.
Arbyrd is 17 miles south of Kennett Missouri, on Highway 108 just off Highway 412.
Call Before You Dig
Before starting any digging project in South Dakota, it's essential to call 811 at least 48 hours in advance to have underground utilities marked. This free service, officially known as South Dakota One Call, helps prevent dangerous and costly accidents by identifying the location of buried gas, electric, water, sewer, telecommunications, and cable lines. Hitting an underground utility can result in serious injuries, service outages affecting entire neighborhoods, expensive repairs, and potential fines. The law requires calling 811 before digging, whether you're installing a fence, planting trees, or undertaking major construction.
Simply dial 811 or submit a request online
