After the War of 1812, pioneers began to move West. Arkansas soon began to grow due to our forefather's desire for land and opportunity as well a payment for their military service to the United States. Arkansas Territory was created in 1819 consisting of only 5 counties, and the area where Stone Co. is located today was originally part of Lawrence County.

In 1873, Stone County originated from its parent counties of Izard, Independence, Searcy, and Van Buren
