According to The Encyclopedia of Arkansas, "Wallaceburg is an unincorporated community located in northeastern Hempstead County. The community is about two miles northeast of Blevins (Hempstead County) and sixteen miles north of Hope (Hempstead County). It is located in Wallaceburg Township.

Early landowners in the area include William Hasley, who obtained eighty acres as part of a land patent in 1837. Other early landowners include the Philip Graves family, who obtained forty acres in 1854, and James Wood, who received a patent for 160 acres in 1856. The name of the community may come from Stephanus Wallace, who obtained eighty acres of land in the area in 1875, or Marcus Wallace, who acquired forty acres the same year.

The establishment of Blevins to the southwest of the community in the 1890s with the opening of the Prescott and Northwestern Railroad led commercial and social activities to shift to the new community. Children residing in the community attended school in Blevins, with the Wallaceburg school consolidating with Blevins around 1928. Many references in local newspapers to Wallaceburg are often in regard to the township, rather than the community with the same name.

The Macedonia Church and Macedonia Cemetery are located in the community. The cemetery contains the graves of early settlers to the area, including Hugh Blevins, the patriarch of the family for whom the town of Blevins is named. Marked graves in the cemetery date to 1859."[1]
