Lawrence County, County seat and administrative division in northeastern Arkansas, US.
Lawrence County is an administrative division in northeastern Arkansas that spans rolling hills in its western section and fertile river bottomland toward the east. The landscape combines agricultural land with natural terrain features that shape how people live and work throughout the region.
The county was established on January 15, 1815, and played a significant role in the state's territorial expansion. Its original boundaries were divided multiple times to form thirty-one additional counties throughout Arkansas.
The Lawrence County Fair and PRCA Rodeo in August brings together residents for livestock judging, educational displays, pageants, and musical performances.
Three main highways cross through the county and connect residents to surrounding areas and trade routes. Road access makes it convenient for farmers to transport crops and goods to regional markets.
The Shirey Bay-Rainey Brake Wildlife Management Area preserves thousands of acres of protected land where waterfowl gather and fishing is a common activity. This refuge offers visitors a chance to experience wildlife and natural wetlands up close.
