About Palestine

Palestine is a small town in St. Francis County, Arkansas, along the L'Anguille River. Its population fell to just over five hundred at the 2020 census, a pattern common to many rural Delta communities. Public school students attend schools in the Palestine-Wheatley School District, including Palestine-Wheatley High School. Palestine is residential and practical, with river geography, local schools, farmland, and nearby Forrest City doing more to define it than any single landmark.
