About Garland County

Garland County was organized in 1873 from parts of Hot Spring, Montgomery, and Saline counties and named for Augustus H. Garland, the Arkansas governor who went on to serve as U.S. attorney general. Its seat, Hot Springs, grew up around the steaming thermal springs that the federal government set aside back in 1832, the reservation that eventually became Hot Springs National Park, the only national park in the state. For generations the city drew health-seekers to the bathhouses of Bathhouse Row, gamblers to a wide-open downtown that sheltered figures like Owney Madden and Lucky Luciano, and racing fans to Oaklawn, which has run thoroughbreds since 1905. Tourism still anchors the county, along with the retirees of Hot Springs Village and the timber mills of Mountain Pine. The county courthouse, a 1905 Classical Revival landmark, is the only one in Arkansas that stands inside a national park. To the east, Saline County edges back toward Little Rock, while Yell County and the Ouachita backcountry lie to the northwest.
