Pulaski County

By Brian Irby

Pulaski County, one of Arkansas's original five counties, has been a political and cultural center for the state since 1819, being the home of the state's capitol and the seat of the state's economic power. Located in the Arkansas River valley, Pulaski County is marked by bustling communities and has been home to colorful Arkansas characters, such as Chester Ashley and William Woodruff, and civil rights pioneers, such as Scipio Jones and Daisy Bates. These luminaries left traces and trails in the architecture throughout the county that attest to their cultural and economic world. This book serves as a document to the buildings they left behind and how the county has changed in the last 200 years. /Author Brian David Irby dives into the Arkansas State Archives' photograph collection to tell the story of Pulaski County's development.
