In the extreme southeastern corner of Arkansas
is Chicot County. It was created in 1823 from Arkansas County and named
Point Chicot. Columbia was the first county seat until 1855 when Masona
was chosen. In 1857, the county seat was moved to Lake Village, where it
remains today. The area supports agricultural endeavors, such as cotton
and soybeans.
