Yell County was created December 5, 1840, from parts of Pope and Scott counties. It is named for Archibald Yell, second governor of the state of Arkansas.
Economically, Yell County's leading industries are connected with production of poultry, hogs, and beef cattle. Tourism and recreation are major activities in an area full of lakes (Lake Dardanelle, Nimrod Lake, Blue Mountain Lake), mountains and parts of two national forests (Ozark and Quachita national forests). Mount Nebo State Park rises 1,800 feet above the mountain valleys and has cabins, campsites, picnic sites, tennis courts, a swimming pool, hiking trails and breathtaking vistas. Mount Magazine State Park offers camping and picnicking. Petit Jean Mountain and Wildlife Management Area offers hunting and scenery.
