history
Crawford County was formed on October 18, 1820 from parts of Pulaski County and in 1820 was the largest county in Arkansas.
It was named after William Harris Crawford (1772-1834), a US Secretary of War (1815-1816) and Treasury Secretary (1816-1825)
In the period that followed, eight more counties and an Indian reservation emerged from Crawford County. The first newspaper, the Arkansas Intelligencer , was published in 1842. The first telegraph connection was laid in 1851 and the Butterfield Overland Mail's first stagecoach ran from September 1858.
