Smackover
| City in southern Arkansas, 19 km/12 mi northwest of El Dorado; population (1990) 2,200. Since oil was discovered here in the early 1920s, extraction and refining have remained important. |
| The name of the city derives from either chemin-couvert (covered ‘road’, or stream) or sumac-couvert (overhanging sumacs). |
