You’ve heard the name: General William O. Darby. You’ve seen the signs as you enter Fort Smith: “Sister City to Cisterna, Italy.” Maybe you’ve walked past the Darby House, where young Billy Darby once called home, or explored The Darby Room at the Fort Smith Museum of History. His name, his story, his legacy — they’re everywhere in Fort Smith. Schools, statues, exhibits, programs, and tales of Darby fill our city with pride. And Cisterna, Italy? It feels familiar too — our sister city across the ocean. But have you ever wondered why? What’s the real story behind this deep connection?
