Pope County, Administrative division in Arkansas, United States
Pope County is an administrative division spanning northwestern Arkansas that incorporates both river valley farmlands and portions of the Ozark National Forest. The landscape combines agricultural areas with forested terrain and multiple waterways.
The county was established on November 2, 1829, carved from Crawford County and named after John Pope, the third territorial governor of Arkansas. The region later became a center for farming and timber activities.
The county library system maintains multiple branches throughout the region, providing residents with educational resources, digital services, and community programs.
Russellville serves as the county seat and is the main hub for administrative services, courts, and public departments. Visitors can locate most official services and institutions in this central location.
The area contains several archaeological sites with rock art from the Mississippian Period, four of which are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. These prehistoric artworks reveal the early artistic and cultural activity in the region.
