Izard County, County seat in north-central Arkansas, United States
Izard County spans across rolling hills and valleys with Melbourne as its administrative center, featuring numerous small communities and agricultural lands.
The county came into existence on October 27, 1825, when Arkansas Territory officials established it as an administrative division of the future state.
The Mill Creek area, which later became Melbourne, developed into a commercial center with multiple stores, churches, and community halls by the early 1900s.
The county administration conducts regular meetings on the third Monday of each month at the Melbourne courthouse, allowing residents to participate in local governance.
During World War II, Melbourne operated under an all-female administration known as the Petticoat Regime while many men served in the military.
