During World War II Murfreesboro was used as a site to house and work German prisoners of war. Since the late 19th century, the county’s main source of employment has been in the timber industry. The county is surrounded by neighboring Arkansas counties: Montgomery to the north, Clark to the east, Nevada to the southeast, Hempstead to the south and Howards to the west.
