Fort Smith is located in northwest
Arkansas and borders Oklahoma and is the county seat for Sebastian County.
The city has a population of 80,286 which makes it the second largest city
in Arkansas behind Little Rock. It is located in the River Valley of
Arkansas between the Ouachita mountains in the south and the Boston and
Ozark mountains of the north and a gateway city to the Ozarks. In 1817
Fort Smith was established as a military fort next to Indian territory in
Oklahoma. It is located at the junction of the Arkansas river and the Poteau
river at a place that early French explorers called Belle Point. This
location was a good place to build a fort guarding the wilderness to the
west and the Indian territory of Oklahoma.
