About Colt

Colt is a small eastern Arkansas town tucked between Crowley's Ridge and the L'Anguille River along Highway 1. It grew from an early stagecoach stop and railroad depot into a peaceful rural community surrounded by open farmland. If you are looking for wide-open spaces and a quiet pace, the area offers plenty of room to spread out while keeping you connected to the region's main travel routes.

Agriculture remains the backbone of local life, and neighbors regularly gather for community traditions like the annual Pioneer Days celebration. The nearby Pine Tree Research Station and its surrounding public lands provide thousands of acres for outdoor recreation, hunting, and fishing. Families and commuters appreciate being just a short drive from schools, healthcare, and shopping in neighboring Wynne and Forrest City, making Colt a practical spot for quiet country living.
