History

The site was settled in about 1809 by John Hemphill, operator of a nearby salt works, Arkansas’s first industry. It was known as Blakelytown until 1839, when the settlement adopted the name Arkadelphia. The town was named “Arkadelphia,” a portmanteau of Ark- from the state’s name Arkansas and adelphia from the Greek meaning “brother/place”.

Arkadelphia was once known as the “City of Rainbows”, perhaps because the humid climate often resulted in rain.
