The City of Conway was founded by A. P. Robinson, who came to Conway shortly after the Civil War. Robinson was the chief engineer for the Little Rock-Fort Smith Railroad (now the Union-Pacific). Part of his compensation was the deed to a tract of land, one square mile, located near the old settlement of Cadron. When the railroad came through, Robinson deeded a small tract of his land back to the railroad for a depot site. He laid off a town site around the depot and named it Conway Station, in honor of a famous Arkansas family. Conway Station contained two small stores, two saloons, a depot, some temporary housing and a post office. Conway was designated the county seat of Faulkner County in 1873, the same year that the county was created by the legislature. In October 1875, Conway was incorporated and, at that time, had a population of approximately 200. When originally incorporated in 1875, Conway was just one square mile surrounding Conway Station on the Little Rock and Fort Smith Branch of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad. By 1959, Conway encompassed 6.9 square miles. During the next 30 years Conway grew rapidly annexing a total of 15.4 square miles. During the 1990's grew even faster, adding 12.2 square miles. Conway now encompasses approximately 45.63 square miles. Almost all area annexed has been through petition by the property owners. For many years Conway flourished as a trade center for a large rural agricultural area. Hendrix College was established in Conway in 1890. Three years later, in 1893, Central College for Girls was established, and Conway was on its way to becoming an educational center. The University of Central Arkansas was founded in Conway in 1907 as the Arkansas Normal School. Its economy was firmly established upon agriculture and the educational institutions until World War II. After the war, diversification of the economy was started by Conway businessmen, and several small industries were attracted to Conway. Subsequently, additional state institutions were located in Conway, including the headquarters for the Office of Emergency Services, the Human Development Center, and the Arkansas Educational Television Network. Conway has a sizable industrial / technological base. Industry located in Conway includes Kimberly Clark, Hewlett Packard, Virco, Acxiom, and Snap-on. Computer database giant Acxiom calls Conway their headquarters.
The El Paso County Sheriffs Office has always been dedicated to providing the Citizens of this community with the best possible quality service available. There are several specialized sections within the Sheriff's Office that have been put in place to assist in that quality service. Traffic, Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), Community Resource Officers (CRO), Victims Assistance, Volunteer Coordinators, and Accreditation teams are only a few of the many sections working behind the scenes and not always in the public view. This year the El Paso County Sheriff's Office has added a K-9 unit to those specialized sections. Three German Shepherd Dogs were brought to the office. On February 17, 2003, the office took delivery of Ivor, Chase, and Justice, three very intelligent and very highly driven German Shepherd Dogs. The K-9 Unit serves as a manpower multiplier and assists the Sheriff's Office in providing the quality service the El Paso County Community deserves. Since February 17, 2003, Ivor, Chase and Justice, as well as their handlers have undergone several months of training. The K-9 Unit also trains weekly to keep and maintain the high level of expectations set forth for Ivor, Chase and Justice. They have been activated for work inside the El Paso County Jail facilities and for patrol. These K-9's are trained in Narcotics Detection, Tracking, Area Searches, Suspect Apprehension, and Handler Protection. They are certified with the U. S. P. C. A. (United States Police Canine Association). We are very proud to bring this unit to the citizens of the El Paso County community. Sergeant Bob McDonald, K-9 Supervisor, along with Deputy David Yarbrough and K-9 Ivor, Deputy Mark Miller and K-9 Chase, and Deputy Sean Hartley and K-9 Justice are extremely committed to utilizing this unit for the good of the community. All K-9's used by the El Paso County Sheriff's Office are USPCA certified in narcotic detection, as well as tracking.
