Cadron Settlement Park

Cadron Settlement Park is a historical site located just west of Conway, Arkansas, where Cadron Ridge intersects with the Arkansas River. The park commemorates the earliest settlement at the site, which was a white community established near the confluence of Cadron Creek and the Arkansas River. Visitors can explore replica structures, such as a blockhouse, and learn about the rich history of the area, including its connections to Spanish explorers, French hunters, and Native American tribes.

The settlement was a bustling trading post and a stop along important trails for settlers heading to other settlements and hot springs. It was even considered as a potential site for the Arkansas state capitol. Today, Cadron Settlement Park offers a glimpse into the past, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the history and heritage of the region.
