Blevins, Arkansas was established along the Southwest Trail, also known as the Old Military Road.  According to Wikipedia (see article below)..."the Southwest Trail was a 19th-century pioneer route that was the primary passageway for American settlers bound for Texas." [1]

Also, Wikipedia highlights Blevins as a part of the path of the Southwest trail as follows..."From Rockport it takes Arkansas Highway 84 to Social Hill, then Old Military Road to U.S. Route 67 at Midway, to Caddo Valley, then crosses the Caddo River on Arkansas Highway 7 to Old Military Road, to Arkansas Highway 8 then Mount Olive Road to Hollywood, then Arkansas Highway 26 to Antoine, then Arkansas Highway 29 to Arkansas Highway 19, returns to Arkansas Highway 29 through Blevins, to Arkansas Highway 32, then U.S. Route 278 to Washington. It then follows Arkansas Highway 195 to Fulton, and crosses the Red River on U.S. Route 67. It continues to Mandeville, turns off on Rondo Road to Rondo, then takes U.S. Route 82 west to the current Arkansas-Texas border of Texarkana.[3]"[1]
