Fort Smith

City and co-administrative headquarters (with Greenwood) of Sebastian County, west Arkansas, USA, on the Arkansas River where it crosses the Oklahoma–Arkansas border, 225 km/140 mi west of Little Rock; population (2000) 80,300. It is the site of coal and natural-gas mines; industries include processed foods, electrical appliances, furniture, cars, paper, plastics, and metals. It is home to Westark Community College (1928).

Fort Smith national historic site is here: the fort was built in 1817, and the town laid out in 1821; it was incorporated as a city in 1851. It served as an Army post from 1817 to 1871. Industry was sustained by the arrival of the railway in 1876 and by the discovery of coal and natural gas in nearby fields in 1900. In 1969 the Federal Arkansas River navigation project enabled barges to reach the city.
