History

Formed in 1833 from Clark County and Hempstead County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Pike County was named after Zebulon Pike and created by Arkansas Territory from Clark and Hempstead counties, with the act passed on November 1, 1833, and taking effect on December 1, 1833. The county became part of the state of Arkansas on June 15, 1836, and its boundaries changed several times thereafter: it exchanged territory with Hempstead in 1838, lost land to the creation of Howard County in 1873, and gained and lost territory involving Clark and Montgomery counties between 1873 and 1877.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
