Camden is the county seat of Ouachita County and is located in south-central Arkansas on the Gulf Coastal Plain, about fifty miles north of Louisiana. Since it began life as Ecore a Fabre, a French trading post, its history has been closely tied to the Ouachita River. At the head of practical navigation, Camden was the “Queen City” of the Ouachita during the steamboat era. In 1864, it became the unintended focus of a major Civil War effort called the Red River Campaign, resulting in several significant battles. With the development of railroads, Camden was able to exploit its rich timberlands and remain an important transportation hub. Camden has also been important in both industry and education. Politically, Camden has had tremendous influence, producing three governors as well as three powerful senators. The 1920s brought significant change to Camden. Oil was discovered at Stephens (Ouachita County), which became the site of Arkansas’s first oil well, though oil was also produced in the Louann and Pace City areas. An International Paper Mill was constructed in the late 1920s. Camark Pottery, founded and owned by Jack Carnes, also opened for business at this time and operated until the 1960s, producing pottery that is still prized. This period also saw the establishment of the Camden Evening News, which later became the Camden News. On May 29, 1925, a man known only as George was lynched near Camden. The McCollum-Chidester House Museum was built in 1847 by local merchant Peter McCollum. It served as the headquarters of the Chidester Stage Line in 1858, served as a Civil War headquarters, and was featured in the television mini-series North and South. Oakland Cemetery, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is the largest Confederate cemetery in the area. The Rumph House was constructed in 1874. In September, the BPW Barn Sale is held at the Old Tate Barn, constructed in the 1880s. Just to the west of Camden are Poison Spring Battleground State Park and White Oak Lake State Park. Also of interest is the 1913 Missouri Pacific Railroad depot, which was restored in 1995. Every spring, the Camden Daffodil Festival features tours of gardens, historic homes, and a log cabin village. The Washington Street Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a mostly residential area with homes dating between 1847 and 1960, preserving a number of architectural styles.
