In March 1812 brothers Jacob Pyeatt and James Pyeatt established the first permanent white settlement (Pyeattstown) on land now part of the Maumelle Country Club. Jacob Pyeatt ran a river ferry and James Pyeatt farmed the land. In 1819 Pyeattstown had grown to about 150 inhabitants.
Across the river to the west a plantation had already been established by Major John Pyeatt. Jacob Pyeatt moved to the site of Cadron in 1815 with his wife Margaret. She died in 1822. Pyeatt was the Pulaski County coroner from 1818 to 1821.
