About Clarendon

Clarendon sits right where the Cache River meets the White River in the heart of the Arkansas Delta. Founded as a riverboat stop between Memphis and Little Rock, the town grew around timber mills, river trade, and a famous freshwater pearl market. Big floods in the early 1900s tested the community, but residents rebuilt behind stronger levees, preserving the classic river-town character you see today.
