Welcome to North Little Rock, Arkansas.
A city of central Arkansas on the Arkansas River opposite Little Rock. Originally named Silver City after a small vein of ore discovered in the area, it is now a trade and manufacturing center. Population: 59,600. North Little Rock is centrally located with I-30, I-40, I-440 and U.S. 67/167 all converging into the city. North Little Rock lies in a cotton, rice, soybean, dairy-cattle, and truck-farm area. There is food processing and printing and the manufacture of consumer goods, fiberglass and electronic products, building materials, hospital garments, bakery products, feed, furniture, fertilizers, and chemicals. In the early 19th cent. the discovery of a small silver vein drew settlers to the area, which was then called Silver City. Most of the area later became part of Little Rock, but in 1903 local citizens pushed a bill through the Arkansas legislature permitting a part of Little Rock to secede and join the small village of North Little Rock. Nearby is Camp Joseph T. Robinson, the headquarters of the Arkansas National Guard.
Located on the north shore of the Arkansas River North Little Rock is a shopping mecca with the state's largest mall -- McCain Mall -- along with numerous smaller shopping centers that encircle the McCain Boulevard exit off the interstate. In the planning stages is The Shoppes at North Hills complex which will be anchored by a Bass Pro Shop. In addition numerous antique malls are scattered throughout town. A "don't miss" attraction is the Old Mill, an authentic reproduction of an old water-powered grist mill which appears in the opening scene of the classic movie, "Gone with the Wind." Alltel Arena hosts college and NBA basketball games plus concerts by major entertainers. The city parks system is one of the best with Burns Park and North Shore Riverwalk two of the most popular. Burns Park is huge, covering more than 1,500 acres. It has facilities for numerous sports while the Riverwalk is a lighted walkway and jogging/fitness trail running parallel to the Arkansas River. In the summer Wild River Country is the place to beat the heat.
