About this city

Also known as: Dogtown

North Little Rock is a dynamic, highly revitalized industrial and entertainment metropolis positioned flatly along the northern bank of the Arkansas River directly across from the state capital. Originally incorporated in the late 1900s following intense railyard booms and political separations from Little Rock, the city successfully transitioned into a modern urban powerhouse. It boasts a world-class arts and entertainment district, sprawling sports arenas, and historic maritime military exhibits that line its scenic, multi-use riverfront trails.
