One of the funniest things about North Little Rock is that until the people who lived in the much larger city of Little Rock knew the US Civil War North Little Rock as ‘The Opposite Little Rock’.

That didn’t bother the folks in North Little Rock one bit. They cherish their small town living and lifestyle and they wouldn’t trade it for the world.

In North Little Rock Arkansas, residents enjoy a wholesome quality of life, safe neighborhoods with organized neighborhood associations, outstanding services and facilities for our youth and seniors, downtown revitalization, booming economic development activities, exciting riverfront development, and a terrific sense of community pride evidenced by our city's recognition as a Volunteer Community of the Year.

A progressive political climate under the leadership of Mayor Patrick Henry Hays exists today, creating a high level of public confidence in the responsiveness of our Mayor and elected officials. Close working relationships among city, school district, and business partners (including the Chamber of Commerce) continues to earn respect and success for our Mayor/City Council form of government.
