Pope County
The County Seat
Scotia was selected as the county seat in 1830, the year after the
county was created. When Johnson County was formed in 1833, the County
Seat in Pope was moved to Dwight Mission, whence it was moved the next
year to Morristown, on the north side of the Arkansas River, opposite
Dardanelle Rock. In 1841, the County seat was moved to Dover where it
remained until 1887, being moved in that year to Russellville. The
county was named in honor of Territorial Governor John Pope.
