Pope County, located in the north-central part of Arkansas, was established on November 2, 1829, and named after John Pope, the third Governor of the Arkansas Territory. It is situated within the Arkansas River Valley region and is surrounded by the Ozark and Ouachita National Forests. The county seat and largest city is Russellville.
Before settlers arrived in the area, it was inhabited by indigenous tribes like the Cherokee, Osage, and Caddo. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, followed by an increased number of European settlers moving to the region, the Arkansas Territory was created in 1819. Eventually, the influx of settlers led to the establishment of Pope County a decade later, helping to support the local agricultural and timber industries.
The completion of the railroad in the late 1800s further increased the growth of the region, with towns like Atkins and London established along the rail lines. The construction of the Ozark and St. Francis National Forests in the early 1900s boosted the timber industry, and the county continued to expand throughout the 20th century.
A fun fact about Pope County is that it is home to Lake Dardanelle State Park, a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly anglers. The lake, formed by a dam on the Arkansas River, offers fishing tournaments and events throughout the year, attracting visitors and residents alike.
