Conway, Arkansas is a great place to live and raise a family! Conway has a small town feel with big city features. Good schools, churchs, shopping, restaurants, medical facilities, and a thriving downtown district.

The City of Conway was founded by A. P. Robinson, who came to Conway shortly after the Civil War. Robinson was the chief engineer for the Little Rock-Fort Smith Railroad (now the Union-Pacific). Part of his compensation was the deed to a tract of land, one square mile, located near the old settlement of Cadron. When the railroad came through, Robinson deeded a small tract of his land back to the railroad for a depot site. He laid off a town site around the depot and named it Conway Station, in honor of a famous Arkansas family. Conway Station contained two small stores, two saloons, a depot, some temporary housing and a post office.

Today, Conway has a sizable industrial / technological base. Industry located in Conway include: Kimberly Clark, Amtran, Virco, Baldwin Piano, and Carrier. Computer database giant Acxiom calls Conway their headquarters.
