In 1823, Carroll County was created from Izard
County and named in honor of Charles Carroll, a signer of the Declaration
of Independence. The White River flows through the county. The first seat
of government was Carrollton until 1880 when Berryville took its place. In
the late 1800s, the railroads came to Carroll County and brought with them
tourists who enjoyed the community of Eureka Springs. Today, this is still
a resort area.
