Discover Arkansas City
Arkansas City was formally established on September 12, 1873, by a Chicot County court, when it lay in Chicot County. From 1879 it served as the Desha County seat and for about four decades was a busy Mississippi River port. The 1927 flood devastated the community and led to the closing of the river port.
