Franklin County, County in western Arkansas, United States
Franklin County spans 620 square miles of varied terrain, including rolling farmlands, forested ridges, and isolated mountains divided by the Arkansas River.
The county, established in 1837 from Crawford County territory, required two separate county seats due to river crossing difficulties: Ozark in the north and Charleston in the south.
Swiss and German immigrants established multiple wineries in the Altus region, transforming Franklin County into a primary wine production center of Arkansas.
The county maintains government offices at 211 West Commercial Street in Ozark, where residents can access administrative services and meet with County Judge Rickey Bowman.
The first oil discovery in Arkansas occurred in Franklin County, which also contains substantial deposits of coal, clay, iron, and shale minerals.
