TOWNS
The Arkansas Legislature formed Faulkner County from Pulaski and Conway counties in 1873 and named Conway as its county seat. The county was named after Colonel Sanford C. "Sandy" Faulkner [1806-1874]. Colonel Faulkner created the story of the Arkansas Traveler, which was a story, painting, and a musical tune that has molded the image of Arkansas since the 1840s.
