Little River County, County in southwestern Arkansas, United States.
Little River County is a county in southwestern Arkansas, situated along the state's border with Texas and Oklahoma. Its county seat is Ashdown, a small town that serves the surrounding rural communities.
The county was formed on March 5, 1867, carved out of Sevier County during the Reconstruction era that followed the Civil War. It takes its name from the Little River, which runs through the territory.
The Two Rivers Museum in Ashdown displays regional artifacts, documents, and photographs that reflect how local communities developed over time. Visitors can explore the daily lives and stories of people who shaped the area through these collected objects and records.
The county is best explored by car, as U.S. 59 and U.S. 71 are the main roads linking its communities. Distances between settlements are long, so planning your route before you go makes the trip easier.
Little River County shares a land border with only one other Arkansas county, Miller County, because waterways separate it from all the others. This makes it one of the few counties in the state that is nearly surrounded by water on all sides.
