Blytheville, AR

Blytheville is the largest city and one of two county seats in Mississippi County, Arkansas, located about sixty miles north of West Memphis near the Mississippi River. Originally shaped by a rowdy lumber and saloon culture in the late nineteenth century, the city transitioned into a modern industrial center. Today Blytheville is home to Arkansas Northeastern College, and its local economy is heavily driven by Nucor Steel, the area's largest employer.
