Historic
Washington State Park is located in Hempstead County some nine miles
northwest of Hope in the historic village of Washington, Arkansas. The state
park opened in 1973 as "Old Washington Historic State Park",
but the "Old" was dropped from the name in 2006. The park offers
walking tours of the historic village, which contains more than a dozen
historic structures from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Townships
in Arkansas are the divisions of a county. Each township includes
unincorporated areas and some may have incorporated towns or cities within
part of their space. Townships have limited purposes in modern times.
However, the US Census does list Arkansas population based on townships
(often referred to as "minor civil divisions"). Townships are also
of value for historical purposes in terms of genealogical research. Each
town or city is within one or more townships in an Arkansas county based on
census maps. The townships of Hempstead County are listed below with the
town(s) and/or city that are fully or partially inside them listed in
parentheses. [8][9]
