Pulaski County, located in the central part of Arkansas, has a long and rich history that dates back to its establishment in 1818. Named after Casimir Pulaski, a Polish nobleman who fought alongside American forces during the Revolutionary War, the county quickly became a hub of trade and government activity.

In the early years, the county seat was initially located in Little Rock, which also served as the territorial capital of Arkansas. The city grew rapidly, fueled by its strategic location along the Arkansas River and the development of steamboat transportation. As a result, Pulaski County was at the center of political, economic, and cultural events in the state.

During the Civil War, Pulaski County witnessed significant military action. Union forces occupied Little Rock in 1863, marking a turning point in the war in Arkansas. The area's agricultural resources, including cotton plantations, also made it an important target for both Union and Confederate forces.

After the war, the county continued to thrive. Reconstruction brought about significant changes, including the establishment of an integrated public school system and the construction of railroads that further boosted trade and transportation. Little Rock became the state capital in 1821, solidifying Pulaski County's role as a political and administrative center.

Over the years, Pulaski County has experienced growth and development, becoming the most populous county in Arkansas.
