Hot Spring County

Hot Spring County is an administrative division in central Arkansas encompassing varied landscapes of forests, lakes, and rivers. These natural features provide recreational opportunities throughout the region.

The region was established as a county in 1836 when European settlers were drawn to the natural thermal springs in the area. The presence of these geothermal waters was the driving force behind settlement and growth.

The thermal springs shaped how people developed traditions and celebrations that honor these natural waters and the heritage of those who settled here.

Malvern serves as the county seat and provides good transportation access through Interstate 30, connecting to nearby regions and larger cities. Travelers can easily reach neighboring areas and metropolitan centers from here.

The natural thermal springs have attracted visitors for centuries, leading to the growth of specialized health facilities and wellness services. This long tradition of using geothermal waters for therapeutic purposes is what sets the area apart.
