Welcome to
Carroll County, AR
I am
currently looking for volunteer's to do look-ups
in Carroll County.
If
you would have books about the area or the people
of the county, please send me the name of the
publication, so that I can compile a reading list
for everybody.
To
the left you will see that I have added a link to
a form to make your submissions easier.
I am
more than happy to help with your research,
however, I can't make that trip to the Court
House or newspaper office and all the information
I have about any family is online, except what is
available in books and that will be listed on the
lookups page. Queries of
such nature will be placed in the queries pages.
About
Carroll County
On November 1,
1833, the US Congress passed an act which created
Carroll County, Arkansas, from the western part
of Izard County, effective on December 25,
1833. Carrollton was established as the
original county seat in January, 1834. The
county was named after Charles Carroll, the last
surviving signer of the Declaration of
Independence.
Carroll County
initially was very large, comprising most of what
is today Boone, Newton, and Carroll Counties,
along with a small area that is now in
northeastern Pope County. It's area was
reduced considerably by the establishment of
Newton County in 1842. In 1867, Carroll
County increased its size by claiming the
northern part of Madison County. In 1869,
the formation of Boone County took away the
eastern part of Carroll County. The county
seat was moved to Berryville in 1875. In
1883, Eureka Springs was named as the co-county
seat for the western county district. A few
other minor border changes were made to the
county sometime prior to 1890,when Carroll County
achieved it's current boundaries.
Any genealogical
research in Carroll County may require searching
it's mother and daughter counties, too.
