==History== Little River County is Arkansas's 59th county, formed from [[Sevier County, Arkansas|Sevier County]] on March 5, 1867, during the [[Reconstruction era]] and named for the [[Little River (Red River)|Little River]]. The county is separated from all other surrounding counties in the state by water (a characteristic shared only with neighboring [[Miller County, Arkansas|Miller County]]). The Little River, Millwood Lake and the [[Red River of the South|Red River]] form the boundaries of the county within the state. Around 1895 the [[St. Louis, San Francisco and New Orleans Railroad|Arkansas and Choctaw Railway]] was built between Arkinda and Ashdown.<ref name=Museum>{{cite web|url= http://www.condrenrails.com/Frisco/Frisco-Museum-All-Aboards/AA1994.1-2.v9.1.pdf |title=Hope, AR|publisher=All Aboard, January–February 1994, p.17-18, The Frisco Rail Museum, (accessed on CondrenRails.com)|accessdate=October 11, 2022}}</ref> The line was extended from Arkinda into Oklahoma, and from Ashdown to [[Hope, Arkansas]], in the 1902-1903 timeframe.<ref name=Museum/> That line is now operated by the [[Kiamichi Railroad]].<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.up.com/customers/shortline/profiles_d-k/krr/index.htm |title=Kiamichi Railroad Company KRR #424|publisher=Union Pacific|accessdate=October 11, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.ardot.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/rrmap11x17_01_2009.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211212023009/https://www.ardot.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/rrmap11x17_01_2009.pdf |archive-date=December 12, 2021 |url-status=live |title=Railroad Map of Arkansas|publisher=Arkansas Department of Transportation|accessdate=October 11, 2022}}</ref>
