Faulkner County

Faulkner County was formed on April 12, 1873, from parts of Conway and Pulaski Counties and was named for Col. Sanford C. Faulkner, a fiddle player and tall-tale teller, who was given the name of being the original “Arkansaw Traveler.”

The county seat is Conway. The landscape of the county is rolling hills and farmland. Its proximity to Little Rock and to major transportation routes makes it attractive for industry and manufacturing. Population growth of the county is at its highest. Employers in Conway and Faulkner County encompass a wide range of businesses and industries.


The hub of Faulkner County is the city of Conway.  Conway is located approximately 30 miles northwest of Little Rock on Interstate-40.
