Review of Arkadelphia, Arkansas


Quality of Life
Star Rating - 6/25/2007
Two large Universitys dominate the town and compete with each other. In general the town is orderly and neat with a true Old South feeling. Most of the citizens are friendly and the different races seem to live in harmony and mutual respect.
It gets mighty hot and humid at times. The area is low and generally flat and at one time doubtlessly heavily forested. The first residents were probably Caddo Indians who were driven off to make way for the Shawnee who were forced to leave so the Cherokee Indians could live there. Then the Cherokees were driven away by the Government so the white man could populate the place. Then the Government decided to completely depopulate the South in "The War of Northern Agression." Now the area is slowly healing.
