Ouachita CountyEarly Businesses & Professionals |
This is a 'work in progress'. My goal is to compile a list of early businesses and professionals in Ouachita County. I have included names of owners when known, (owners names in boldface) the location, and any tidbits I have found in the records. Often the year the business was established or the professional began practice is unknown and I have included the earliest year I have found in records where noted. If you have additions or corrections, please contact Carol Smith.
