Craighead County is located in the northeast corner of Arkansas and touches Missouri on our northernmost border. Craighead County covers 717 square miles with a population of 102,518. There are 27-named lakes and reservoirs and two rivers (St. Francis and Cache River). Eight cities, two towns, and many townships fall within the boundaries of Craighead County.

Craighead County is one of the few in Arkansas that has dual county seats. We are divided into two districts by law: the Western District-Jonesboro, and Eastern District-Lake City.
