Arkadelphia, Educational town in Clark County, Arkansas, United States.
Located along Interstate 30 between Little Rock and Texarkana, Arkadelphia contains two higher education institutions on the banks of the Ouachita River.
Originally named Blakelytown until 1839, the settlement grew around John Hemphill's salt works operation, which represented the first industry in Arkansas during 1809.
The Clark County Historical Museum maintains a collection of regional artifacts, documenting centuries of local development from prehistoric periods to modern times.
The city features numerous outdoor recreation spaces, including Feaster Park and the Arkadelphia Aquatic Park with water slides and swimming facilities.
