| • | Ink is a small community in Polk County, Arkansas. A popular and apocryphal story of how the town got its 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. The true story is that lots of towns were trying to register at the same time, and the United States Postal service was trying very hard to cut down on the number of dulpicate place names. Post Masters of the various post offices trying to register their towns were required to give several name alternatives. Most towns were did not get there first, second, or even third choices in some cases for names. Ink was accutally the second choice, the first being "Melon".
