County Courthouse

    Greetings and welcome to historic Garland County. Our county has always been a special place. President Andrew Jackson made Hot Springs, our county seat, the first Federal Reservation in 1832, the first piece of America protected for future generations. Hot Springs was, in essence, America's first national park.

    Garland County offers something for everyone to love with its exquisite natural beauty, fun outdoor activities, and a host of historical, cultural, recreational, and family attractions. Our county isn't typical either. It's more diverse ethnically and more cosmopolitan than most others its size. It has a diverse economy supported by strong tourism, manufacturing, medical and retirement location industries.

    This is a good place to live and work. No person could enjoy being its county judge as much as I do. Each day I am confronted with new and challenging opportunities to serve our people. Whether it's presiding over a public meeting, or helping find long-range solutions to growth and development problems, or handling the complaint of someone with a pothole on their street, I find my job as Garland County Judge satisfying and rewarding.

    Thanks for inquiring about Garland County. Our citizens are proud of their unique county and we extend you a cordial invitation to visit soon.

Sincerely,

Larry Williams
