Anchored by Jonesboro and surrounding Craighead County, the Upper Delta offers a unique setting for newcomers. Beautiful forests and the Mississippi River’s Delta shores envelop this charming piece of The Natural State.

This character-rich region is known for its history and agriculture. With hundreds of thousands of acres of cotton, rice, soybeans, corn and wheat grown each year, agribusiness is the predominant industry of the Lower Delta. In fact, Arkansas is the number one state for rice exports in the nation and 10th for soybeans.
