About this city
Scott is an exceptionally evocative, historic agricultural census-designated place positioned flatly within the rich alluvial bottomlands along the Arkansas River, just miles east of Little Rock. Serving for nearly two centuries as the deeply historic heart of cotton farming in central Arkansas, the community is defined by sprawling bayous, massive pecan orchards, and towering cypress trees. Scott acts as a beautifully preserved living history capsule, chronicling both prehistoric Native American temple cultures and the complex social evolution of plantation sharecropping.
