Scott County, Arkansas
.Scott County is located in the west-central portion of the state of Arkansas. It was established on November 5, 1833, and was carved out of land from neighboring Pulaski and Crawford counties. The county seat, Waldron, was founded in the same year. Scott County was named in honor of Andrew Scott, the third United States District Judge for Arkansas Territory.
The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes such as the Caddo, Osage, and Cherokee. European settlers began arriving in the early 1800s and started farming the lands. Scott County was, for much of its history, a rural agricultural-based economy, but later expanded into industries including timber, poultry production, and some manufacturing.
During the Civil War, several skirmishes took place in Scott County, as the area was strategically important for the Confederate forces. Some notable engagements include the Battle of Devil's Backbone in 1863 and the Skirmish of Waldron in 1864.
One fun fact about Scott County is that it is home to the Queen Wilhelmina State Park, which sits atop the southernmost peak of the Ouachita Mountains, at an elevation of 2,681 feet. The park is named after Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and contains a magnificent Victorian-era lodge that was originally built in 1898, known as the "Castle in the Sky," which has been lovingly restored and now serves as a popular destination for tourists to enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, hike the trails, or ride the antique steam-engine railway.
