Van Buren, County seat in Crawford County, Arkansas
Located at the Arkansas River, Van Buren functions as a transportation center with an elevation of 122 meters and a population of 23,218 residents.
John Drennen established Van Buren in 1831, starting with a post office named Phillips Landing and donating land for the courthouse construction.

The municipal office operates Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with adjusted hours until 4:30 PM on Fridays.
