Lake Dick, Arkansas

Lake Dick is an unincorporated community in Jefferson County, Arkansas, United States.

The Resettlement Administration, a New Deal program which supported farming projects, established the community on the shore of Lake Dick in 1936.

Unlike most Resettlement Administration farming communities, which divided farmland among their residents, Lake Dick was a cooperative farming project; families jointly participated in producing crops on community farmland according to a work schedule.

Roughly one-third of the community's original buildings are still in place; most of the others, particularly the houses, have been relocated to other nearby settlements.
