Let's see.
I'm from Sheridan, AR. It is a small town, about 3000-4000.
It is probably known most for logging. Without that industry the city would likely fold.
Down the road is Jenkins Ferry. It is site to a very important part of the battle over Arkansas during the Civil War.
Other than that, nothing very significant that my small hometown is known for.

I guess my hometown is Beale AFB. Home of one of the PAVE PAWS installations.
On 1 July 1979, the 7th Missile Warning Squadron (7 MWS) brought a Precision Acquisition Vehicle Entry Phased Array Warning System (PAVE PAWS) radar site to Beale, a Protection Level 1, 10-story structure that can detect possible attack by land-based and sea-launched ballistic missiles. Located in a cantonment area on the outskirts of Beale, the 7 MWS is now an Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) unit and it primarily uses its PAVE PAWS radar to detect submarine launched ballistic missiles and disintegrating spacecraft and space debris. Mock missile attacks, site emergencies and simulated equipment failures also keep the Canadian and American crew busy. 9th Security Forces Squadron provide security for the PAVE PAWS restriced area
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beale_Air_Force_Base
Otherwise, my off-base hometown (area) is known for a school shooting on May 1st, 1992...my freshman year. The Ricky Schroder movie High School High was based almost entirely on the incident.
