Welcome
Hot Spring County was formed on November 2, 1829, by the Territorial Legislature from a part of Clark County. The county’s name came from the natural hot springs that later became world famous as a part of Garland County. Malvern is the county seat for Hot Spring County Arkansas. The landscape is forested ridges, and river bottomland, with the Ouachita Mountains in the north and west and rolling hills in the southeast. Hot Spring County’s economic base is beef and dairy cattle, and the cultivation of hay, soybeans and rice. Industrial development includes lumber mills, brick plants, metals, and small industry. Many residents commute out of the county for work. The county has many varieties (65) of valuable minerals, including the nation’s greatest concentrations of novaculite and vanadium and magnet ore, which is in the roadbed of U.S. Highway 270. Malvern calls itself the “Brick Capital of the World.” In July of each year, Brickfest is celebrated with arts, crafts, games, and entertainment. The county courthouse, constructed in 1936 by the WPA, is built of local brick. Lake Catherine, set in a forest of tall pines and hardwoods, offers a getaway for fishing and other water sports, and Lake Catherine State Park offers campsites, cabins, hiking trails, and a marina. The Ouachita River, which runs through the county, is well known for it’s fishing and floating.

HOT SPRING COUNTY CENSUS RESPONSE CHALLENGE
The Census Response Rates link will allow you to see how our individual communities are responding to the 2020 Census. Please go to https://2020census.gov/en/response-rates.html
The Hot Spring County self-response rate is now at 49% and I am pushing to get it to 51% so we can turn our county from yellow to blue. Even though the calendar said that all households would receive a paper questionnaire by April 15, that has not been the case. We need to encourage as many people as we can to respond by phone or internet within the next day or so.
Completing the 2020 Census is a very easy way to increase revenue for our county. I am challenging all HSC citizens to respond online or by phone and be counted as we strive to make Hot Spring County a better place to live, work, and play!
