Prairie County, Administrative county in central Arkansas, United States
Located between the White and Arkansas rivers, Prairie County extends across 647 square miles of flat delta farmland with rolling hills in the northwest.
The county formed on November 25, 1846, received its name from the Grand Prairie region and established two county seats at Des Arc and DeValls Bluff.
The agricultural heritage of Prairie County reflects in its extensive production of cotton, rice, soybeans, and wheat, alongside traditional catfish farming practices.
The Wattensaw Wildlife Management Area spans 17,433 acres from the White River, providing extensive opportunities for fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation.
The county maintains two active courthouses: a 1913 Georgian structure in Des Arc and a 1939 Georgian-influenced building in DeValls Bluff.
