Town in Benton County, northwestern Arkansas, USA, on the Ozark Plateau, 8 km/5 mi south of the Missouri border and 13 km/8 mi northwest of Rogers; population (1990) 1,700. It is the site of the Battle of Pea Ridge (or Elkhorn Tavern), 7–8 March 1862, the most significant Civil War engagement in Arkansas.
