Sebastian County Arkansas Sebastian County, named after former Judge and State Senator William K. Sebastian, was carved out of three adjacent counties in 1851. In a bitter contest that lasted 23 years, the location of the county seat of government flipped flopped between the county’s primary cities of Fort Smith and Greenwood. It took a provision inserted in the US Constitution to settle the matter. Since then, Sebastian County has had two judicial districts, the upper district in Fort Smith and the lower district in Greenwood, both under one general organization. With an area of only 536 square miles, Sebastian County is one of the smallest counties in Arkansas. Yet, it is the fourth most populated county in the State. The City of Fort Smith accounts for roughly 70 percent of the County’s population, and Greenwood, six percent. Another nine percent of the residents of Sebastian County reside in the communities of Barling, Bonanza, Central City, Hackett, Hartford, Huntington, Lavaca, City of Mansfield, and Midland.
