About Black Oak

Black Oak is a quiet, close-knit community in northeast Arkansas with a population of around 230 people. Located in Craighead County, it gives residents a peaceful, wide-open setting with excellent hunting and fishing nearby at the St. Francis Sunken Lands. The town got its start around the turn of the 20th century as a timber and railroad stop, but today it offers a relaxed, rural pace of life that still stays within an easy drive of shopping, dining, and jobs in Jonesboro.
