About Arkansas City

Arkansas City is a small town in Desha County and has served as the county seat since 1879. It sits in the Delta Lowlands, where the Mississippi River region, flat farmland, and courthouse functions give the town its local context. Incorporated in 1873, Arkansas City was once an important commercial point in southeast Arkansas. Students are served by the McGehee School District. The town is small today, but its county-seat role gives it civic weight beyond its population.
