History
A post office called Owls Bend was established in 1923, and remained in operation until 1955. The community was so named on account of the abundance of owls at a nearby meander on the Current River.

The community includes Owl's Bend Site, a Native American archaeological site placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
