Kenneth Pat Wilson organized Jacksonville State Bank in 1949 so that his hometown would have a bank. Today the institution is known as First Arkansas Bank & Trust. Wilson's loyalty to his roots went beyond building a bank. Always a driving force, he wanted his community to be the best place to work and raise a family. Throughout his life, he was dedicated to Jacksonville's economic growth, enhanced civic services, and educational resources. His vision and energy helped boost the population from 400 to more than 30,000. Among his notable accomplishments was his work on Pulaski County Committee of 100 to bring the Little Rock Air Force Base to Jacksonville.
