Arkansas is a state located in the southern region of the United
States. Its name is an Algonquian name of the Quapaw
Indians.
Arkansas shares a border with six states (clockwise: N: Missouri; E:
Tennessee, Mississippi; S: Louisiana; W: Texas, Oklahoma) with its eastern
border largely defined by the Mississippi River. Its
diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions of the Ozarks
and the Ouachita Mountains, which
make up the U.S. Interior Highlands, to
the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River. The capital and most
populous city is Little Rock, located in the
central portion of the state. The Territory of Arkansas was
organized on July 4, 1819. On June 15, 1836, the State of Arkansas was
admitted to the Union as the 25th state
and the 13th slave state. |

Boundary changes
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Conducting genealogical research in the United States
requires an understanding of State and County boundaries. As the population grew more counties were
created to meet the public’s need for localized governments. This phenomena was
common in all states during the 17th, 18th and 19th
centuries. As such you may be looking
for records in the wrong county or state.
The web site
for the Atlas of Historical County
Boundary Project provides interactive maps for all
states. The Atlas of Historical County Boundaries is meant to be a resource
for people seeking records of past events, as well as people trying to
analyze, interpret and display county-based historical data like Land Records, Probate Records, Court Records, Tax Records,
and Vital
Records that document birth, death, and marriage. The following link will take
you to a list of all the boundary changes to this State and each
county or equivalent within this U.S. State, as well as the date these
changes occurred. Each entry is
followed by a citation to the primary source(s) used to determine the change. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our “Gen-Tool Kit” has been primarily designed for those researchers who may be traveling to this location to perform on-site studies of their family history, or to just visit some of the interesting historical sites located therein. It can be very satisfying to mix research with sightseeing at historical and scenic spots. Such activity not only gives you an understanding of the land but a needed break from intense research sessions. When visiting an ancestral state for genealogical research we’ve found that the three most important places to visit are the State Archives; the State Library; and the State historical and/or genealogical societies. It is also good to plan ahead by contacting any site you intend visiting in order to ascertain where it is and when it will be open. This is especially true with regard to historical and genealogical societies. We hope that the following information will provide you with a better idea of what resources are available, within this county, to the family historian. |
