Template:AR Land Intro

Land and property records can 1) place an ancestor in a specific location, 2) provide economic information, 3) reveal family relationships, and more.

After land was transferred to private ownership, transactions were usually recorded at the county courthouse in the form of deeds, abstracts and indexes, mortgages, leases, and others. See Arkansas Land and Property for more about online collections and early Arkansas land grants and patents from the government to private ownership.
