Marion County
Marion County was created September 25, 1836, from Izard County. First called Searcy County, it was renamed in 1836 in honor of Francis Marion, a Revolutionary War general. Yellville is the county seat. Prior to its occupation by white settlers, this county seat was a Native American village. It is one of the oldest settlements in Arkansas and has been under the flags of Spain, France, the United States, the Confederate States of America, the Territory of Louisiana, the Territory of Missouri, and the Territory and State of Arkansas. The landscape of Marion County is the rugged and mountainous, Ozark Mountains, inhabited for years by bluff-dwelling Native Americans and, later, by European settlers. One-third of the county is under water, which offers many water activities. Part of the Buffalo River runs through the county and features camping, hiking, canoeing, hunting, and fishing. The Lower Buffalo Wilderness Area is the state’s largest wilderness area. Bull Shoals Lake has 19 parks scattered around its 1,000-mile shoreline. The Ozark villages are populated by crafters from spring to late fall. They bring a large number of visitors to this area. The population of Marion County is 16,826 (2020 Census).
