Equipment Transport in North Little Rock Arkansas

North Little Rock (often dubbed as “NLR”) is a city in Pulaski County, Arkansas, and the twin city of Little Rock. The population was 64,591 at the 2020 census.

The city has been experiencing significant beautification efforts over the past few years, resulting in renewed interest from young families and professionals. Areas such as the Argenta Historic District in Downtown have turned into thriving entertainment districts offering theaters, fine dining, bars, gastropubs, and boutiques. It is also home to Dickey-Stephens Park, which hosts the Arkansas Travelers minor league baseball team, and Simmons Bank Arena, the metropolitan area’s main entertainment venue. Farther west is Burns Park, one of the largest municipal parks in the United States.

Originally named Argenta, Arkansas, it was founded on April 18, 1871. In 1890, the city of Little Rock annexed Argenta as part of its eighth ward, preempting a competing petition to incorporate. As part of a plan to reclaim its independence, Argenta was incorporated on July 17, 1901, as the town of “North Little Rock”. By 1904, the state’s supreme court allowed North Little Rock to annex what was left of the ward. It readopted the name Argenta in 1906, only to revert to North Little Rock in October 1917. Evidence of the old town can still be found in the North Little Rock City Hall (built in 1914) which contains plaques referring to Argenta, and incorporates “C of A” (i.e. City of Argenta) ornamental features.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 47.0 square miles (122 km), of which 44.8 square miles (116 km) is land and 2.2 square miles (5.7 km) (4.58%) is water.
