 1872 COUNTY DESCRIPTION

Contributed by Candi Horton
FRANKLIN lies in the northwest, on both sides of the Arkansas river;. population, 9,627. Ozark is the county site. Timber, walnut, sweet gum, maple, white and black oak; land somewhat broken, but there are fine bottoms of rich soil; products, cotton, corn, wheat, oats and hay. This is one of the rich coal counties, being found in great abundance within one mile of Ozark, three feet thick of clear coal; also iron and other minerals.
 The Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad runs through this county, and over the coal lands, which will make them valuable by reason of the facilities for transportation afforded.
