North Little Rock

North Little Rock sits along the northern bank of the Arkansas River and shares a metropolitan area with the state capital Little Rock. The city bridges residential neighborhoods with commercial and administrative centers across the river.

The settlement was first called Argenta when founded in 1871 and became independent from Little Rock in 1901. This separation allowed it to develop into its own city with separate governance.

The Arkansas Travelers baseball team calls Dickey-Stephens Park home, while Simmons Bank Arena hosts concerts and events throughout the year. These venues shape how residents spend their leisure time and gather as a community.

Rock Region Metro operates regular bus service connecting residential areas with commercial and administrative centers throughout the city. The area is easy to navigate by car and has parking available in main areas.

Burns Park spreads across 1,700 acres, ranking among the largest urban parks in North America. The park contains sports fields, trails, and recreational facilities that serve the community year-round.
