Union County, Arkansas
Union County occupies the southeast corner of Arkansas, bordering Louisiana. Approximately 75,000 live here with U.S. Highway 82 crossing through.
El Dorado, the county seat, was once the heart of Arkansas’s oil boom. Today, it’s reinventing itself as a cultural destination with the Murphy Arts District. This includes the annual MusicFest which brings in big-name performers.
The Arkansas Museum of Natural Resources in Smackover tells the story of the area’s oil history. Lake Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge has opportunities for fishing and wildlife viewing.
