history

Charles Carroll

Carroll County was formed on November 1, 1833 from parts of Izard County. It was named after Charles Carroll (1737-1832), a co-signer of the US Declaration of Independence and US Senator from Maryland .

The first white settlers in the area were William and Charles Sneed. The first post office was established in 1855, closed in 1856, and reopened in 1867. The first courthouse was built in 1880 and the first newspaper, the Carroll County Bowlder , was published. A few years later, Carrollton High School , Fairview Academy and Clarke's Academy were founded.

The boundaries of the county have changed several times in the past. So in 1836 and 1838 parts were given to form Madison and Searcy Counties. Another part was added to Newton County in 1842. The formation of Boone County in 1869 shrank Carroll County so much that it came under the required square miles, which in turn made it part of Madison County.
