Carrollton, Arkansas

Carrollton is an unincorporated community in Carroll County, Arkansas, United States.

[citation needed] Carrollton was settled circa 1840 and was named for Charles Carroll, a signatory of the U.S.

By the time of the American Civil War in 1860, Carrollton had grown to a population of 6,000.

A Civil War skirmish led by Confederate soldier Joe Cumia was fought there, and a historic marker now marks the site.

Rather than wait for the records to be separated, a group of men from Wilson Springs came in the dead of night in the mid-1870s, breaking into the storage area and carting off the county records.
