Calhoun County, located in the great state of Arkansas, was established on December 6, 1850, and is named after John C. Calhoun, an influential South Carolina statesman, and Vice President of the United States from 1825 to 1832. The county was formed from parts of Dallas and Ouachita counties.

The area had been primarily a hunting ground for native tribes like Caddo and Quapaw before the arrival of European settlers. During the colonial period, the French and Spanish claimed the region. The United States acquired the territory in 1803 through the Louisiana Purchase. In the decades that followed, various treaties and land cessions gradually removed Native American tribes from the Arkansas territory, allowing for further European expansion and settlement.

Hampton, the county seat, was established in 1851 in response to the need for a political and commercial center for the region. Calhoun County, despite its relatively small size, was a significant timber and agricultural center in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the cultivation of cotton, corn, and sweet potatoes.

Fun Fact: One unique feature of Calhoun County is the Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge, which spans over 65,000 acres within the county and nearby Union County. The refuge was established in 1975 and is home to various plant and animal species, including the endangered Red-cockaded woodpecker. The refuge offers many recreational opportunities such as wildlife observation, fishing, and hunting, making it a beloved destination for nature enthusiasts.
