Former counties in Arkansas

Lovely County

Created on October 13, 1827, partitioned from Crawford County. The Treaty of Washington, 1828 ceded most of its territory to Indian Territory. Abolished October 17, 1828 with the remaining portion becoming Washington County.[7]

Miller County

Created from Hempstead County. Most of its northern portion was in Choctaw Nation (now part of Oklahoma); rest of northern portion was dissolved into Sevier County in 1828. All of its southern portion was in Texas, and was nominally dissolved into Lafayette County in 1838. The present Miller County was created in 1874 from an area that was part of Lafayette County before the former Miller County was dissolved.

Notes

<templatestyles src="Reflist/styles.css" />

  1. ↑ The namesake springs were lost to Garland County in 1873.
  2. ↑ A previous Miller County was created April 1, 1820, but abolished in 1838. No part of that county is in the present county.
