Pulaski County

Pulaski County is an administrative division in central Arkansas that includes the state capital Little Rock and several communities along the Arkansas River. The area combines urban, suburban, and rural sections within its boundaries.

The county was established in 1818 and named after Polish-born Brigadier General Casimir Pulaski, who died serving in the American Revolutionary War. The region later became a focal point for Civil Rights struggles during the middle of the 20th century.

The Little Rock Central High School site serves as a place where visitors can learn about the struggles against segregation and the key role of the Civil Rights Movement. The location shows how communities worked through difficult social divisions and change.

Rock Region Metro operates bus and streetcar services connecting Little Rock and surrounding areas, making it easy to move around the region. Visitors can use these services to reach different neighborhoods and attractions throughout the county.

The county courthouse features twelve statues representing different aspects of society, held up by marble columns beneath a stained-glass dome. This artistic design reflects the building's intent to honor various parts of community life.
