Lincoln County

Lincoln County is a county in southeastern Arkansas, stretching between Pine Bluff and Monticello with Star City serving as its administrative center. The area is defined primarily by agriculture, with expansive fields and rural communities throughout its landscape.

The Arkansas State Legislature established this county on March 28, 1871, naming it after President Abraham Lincoln during the Reconstruction period following the Civil War. This creation marked a significant moment of territorial reorganization in the post-war South.

The county maintains strong agricultural traditions through cotton and soybean farming, while also supporting multiple educational institutions and community centers.

The Lincoln County Courthouse in Star City provides residents and visitors with access to basic administrative services such as property tax collection and vehicle registration. Courthouse offices and administrative departments are accessible during standard business hours.

Lincoln County operates a specialized agricultural research station that develops methods for improving crop yields in southeastern Arkansas soil conditions.
