Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Ink is a small community in Polk County, Arkansas. Among the stories about how its name was chosen in 1887 is one based on a misunderstanding. When the townsfolk were completing the government application to establish a post office, they interpreted the instruction "Write in ink" literally and entered the name "Ink" as the proposed town name. This was accepted as the official name. This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
