Amanda Arnold was the first public school teacher in Manhattan. She came to the area on the Hartford as one of the earliest settlers of Manhattan.
Amanda Arnold's grave at Sunset Cemetery was unmarked since she had no family to see to that detail upon her death. In 1995, students of Amanda Arnold Elementary School, the Parent Teacher Association, the Polly Ogden Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Manhattan Monument Company combined efforts and arranged for a proper headstone for Amanda Arnold.
The elementary school known as Woodrow Wilson on Juliette Avenue was proposed to be named after Amanda Arnold, but the suggestion came just a bit too late. The Amanda Arnold Elementary School on Hudson was dedicated in 1995.
A stone arch from a school where Amanda taught is preserved north of the Riley County Courthouse on Poyntz Avenue, and is dedicated to her.
