Hope

City and seat of Hempstead County, in southwestern Arkansas, 48 km/30 mi northeast of Texarkana; population (2000) 10,600. The city is the birthplace (1946) of President Bill Clinton, who grew up in the district of Hot Springs.

Founded in 1852 as a station on the Cairo and Fulton Railroad, Hope developed as a commercial and shipping centre for local farmers and lumber merchants.

President Clinton returned to Hope in March 1999 for the dedication of his boyhood home at 117 South Hervey Street. The house was restored as a museum.
