Forrest City on the I-40 Corridor Through the Delta
Forrest City is the seat of St. Francis County, positioned along Interstate 40 about midway between Little Rock and Memphis. The city takes its name from Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest, whose troops camped in the area during the Civil War. Population is approximately 14,700, and the city serves as a regional center for the surrounding agricultural communities of the eastern Arkansas Delta.
Agriculture dominates the St. Francis County economy. Rice, soybeans, and cotton are the primary crops, cultivated on the flat alluvial soil deposited by the St. Francis and Mississippi rivers over millennia. Sanyo North America once operated a television manufacturing plant here that employed over 1,000 people before closing in 2007. The loss of that facility was a significant economic blow that the area has not fully recovered from.
The East Arkansas Community College campus sits on the south side of town and provides workforce training and associate degree programs. Village Creek State Park, about fifteen miles north, covers over 7,000 acres of forested ridges and lakes that stand in geological contrast to the surrounding flatlands. Crowley's Ridge, a narrow loess formation running north-south through eastern Arkansas, passes through the area and provides the only significant elevation changes in the region.
