The area around Emmet had long been inhabited by the Caddo people, prior to European colonization of the Americas. It consisted of gently rolling hills and prairies, interspersed with dense timber and fertile lowlands. By the time of the Louisiana Purchase, the natural fauna was being removed in favor of more profitable crops.
Wildlife that had been an important sustenance for the Natives was also being removed, and over time the Caddo population was greatly diminished. In the years following Arkansas statehood, settlers began flowing steadily in. Some were following the Southwest Trail to Fulton on the Red River, while others saw opportunity in the area where Emmet would be established. In 1837, Martin Edwards secured one of the first land patents in Arkansas.
His property encompassed the area that would include the community of Burkville, precursor to the city of Emmet.
