Pike County, Arkansas
Pike County · Murfreesboro, Arkansas · the county seat sits here · Glenwood is larger and is not the hall · Troy, Alabama, is not this oval · Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is not this oval
Murfreesboro, Arkansas, is the seat. Glenwood is larger. Troy is Alabama. Tennessee is a different city. That split is mandatory.
Pike County, Arkansas, was created 1 November 1833 from Clark and Hempstead and named for Zebulon Pike. The 1933 courthouse stands in the middle of Courthouse Square in Murfreesboro, Arkansas. Encyclopedia of Arkansas: a brick house on the square after fires in 1855 and 1895; a 1897 brick stood until this one. County Clerk and County Judge list 1 Courthouse Square, Murfreesboro, AR 71958. Glenwood is the large city — not the hall. Delight, Antoine, Daisy, and Kirby are not the hall.
This is not Pike County, Alabama. Alabama’s Pike County seat is Troy — already unique SuperHeavy. Different state. Different oval. This is not Murfreesboro, Tennessee. That city is the seat of Rutherford County, a different state, a different map, a different badge. This is not Pike County, Mississippi / Georgia / Kentucky / Indiana / Ohio / Pennsylvania / Illinois / Missouri. Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas. It does not sit here.
Crater of Diamonds State Park south of Murfreesboro, the Little Missouri River, the Caddo River, and Lake Greeson sit on this map. They are land, not a second sheriff. The crater is a state park. It is not this oval.
This page is Side One for the place. The Sheriff’s job — Ouachita-hill remainder patrol and the 78-bed house this badge still holds at 305 Industrial Park Drive — is taught at Office of the Sheriff — Pike County.
Nine justices at Courthouse Square. They do not sit in Alabama or Tennessee as this county.
Pike is an elected Quorum Court of nine justices of the peace. Justices sit two years. The County Judge is the chief executive (Amendment 55), presides, has no vote, and holds the veto. County Judge mailing P.O. Box 239, Murfreesboro, AR 71958, phone 870-285-2414, hall 1 Courthouse Square. They fund roads, the 1933 courthouse, and the Sheriff’s budget. They do not hire the Sheriff. The people do. Murfreesboro City Council is a city body. Glenwood is not this commission as the whole county.
County Clerk: 1 Courthouse Square, mailing P.O. Box 218, phone 870-285-2743. Circuit Clerk mailing P.O. Box 219. An Alabama rumor is not this county. A Tennessee rumor is not this county. Glenwood as this hall is not this county.
The Sheriff is four years, Art. 7 § 46, 2026 with the Governor. Take office 1 January 2027. Alabama’s Sheriff clock is a different constitution. Tennessee’s Sheriff clock is a different state. The Mayor of Murfreesboro, Arkansas, is a city clock. The Mayor of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is a different state.
Crater of Diamonds, Little Missouri, Highway 27. Little Rock is the capital and it is not here.
U.S. 70, Highway 27, and Highway 8 are the through roads. Rugged north, rolling south. Montgomery is north — Mount Ida is that hall. Clark is east — Arkadelphia is that hall. Nevada is southeast — Prescott is that hall. Hempstead is south — Hope is that hall. Howard is west — Nashville, Arkansas, is that hall, not Tennessee. Polk is northwest — Mena is that hall. Staff who paste a Troy, Alabama, photograph onto Courthouse Square, or treat Murfreesboro, Tennessee, as this county government, or file Glenwood as the hall, are on the wrong county.
How a Murfreesboro, Arkansas, public finds the Pike desk — and how a Glenwood public still uses the same Sheriff
County Judge / County Clerk: 1 Courthouse Square, Murfreesboro, AR 71958. Sheriff: Association of Arkansas Counties and the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Association list 305 Industrial Park Drive, Murfreesboro, AR 71958, mailing P.O. Box 177, office 870-285-3315, jail 870-285-3413. Combined Sheriff-Collector. Older locator copy still prints 204 Mauney Street — confirm the live door on pikecso.com and pikecountyar.org. A student who only knows a Troy photograph, or only a Tennessee postcard, has not found Murfreesboro, Arkansas. A student in Glenwood still uses this Sheriff — Delight is a city, not a second oval.
305 Industrial Park Drive still jails. 204 Mauney is a landmark listing. Troy is Alabama. Murfreesboro PD is the city.
Crime in unincorporated Pike — Crater country, Little Missouri crossings, Delight roads, Antoine, Daisy, Kirby, Highway 27 toward Nashville, Arkansas — is this Sheriff. Crime in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, is often Murfreesboro Police. Crime in Glenwood is often Glenwood Police. This Sheriff is not those departments. Live ASA lists a 78-bed house, male and female, at 305 Industrial Park Drive. Live Sheriff copy: 74-bed men’s and women’s house at the same address — confirm live capacity on the office that posts it. Do not send a family looking for a county booking to Troy, to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, or to Glenwood as this oval. No separate county Department of Corrections turned up — do not invent a jailer split. Civil process and courthouse security at Courthouse Square are the Sheriff. Rights do not change in diamond country. Remedy for Murfreesboro Police is the City. Remedy for a Sheriff’s paper is the Sheriff. Relief when the Little Missouri rises is this count first.
Care without inventing a crater chapel as this county
A peace order served in Glenwood. A transport from 305 Industrial Park Drive without becoming Murfreesboro PD and without becoming Howard County. Do not invent a church. Do not invent Troy as this badge. Do not invent Murfreesboro, Tennessee, as this hall.
What this diamond-county actually watches
Court calendar on Courthouse Square. A wreck on Highway 27. High water on the Little Missouri. Fog toward Daisy. Ice toward Delight. Coordination with Murfreesboro Police, Glenwood Police, and ASP without becoming those departments. Coordination with Howard’s Sheriff or Montgomery’s Sheriff is mutual aid between two offices, not a merger. A Troy photograph does not steal the seat. A Tennessee photograph does not steal the seat. Little Rock remains the capital. This remains Murfreesboro, Arkansas.
