England, located in Lonoke County in central Arkansas, USA, is a small, quiet city about 30 miles northeast of Little Rock. Founded in the late 1800s, the city sprang up as a result of railroad transportation and still retains a strong southern small-town feel. With approximately 3,000 residents according to the most recent population figures, England has a friendly community atmosphere with agriculture and light industry as the mainstays of the economy, and the surrounding area is rich in crops such as soybeans and corn. The local school district, England School District, offers educational resources for grades K-12, and community events such as the annual England Strawberry Festival are popular and attract neighborhood residents. Despite its small size, England's low cost of living, safe environment, and easy access to Highway 71 make it a great choice for families seeking a quieter life.
Ham-sur-Heure is a commune in the province of Enow in the Walloon Region of Belgium, located about 60 kilometers south of Brussels. Nestled along the River Eure, this quiet town is known for its idyllic scenery and historic buildings and has a population of about 7,000.
The 16th-century Château de Ham-sur-Heure, preserved in the center of the town and surrounded by a moat and park, is a local landmark. The nature trails along the River Eure are ideal for hiking and biking, and fishing and picnicking are common in the summer months. The traditional brick and stone houses, weekly market and St. Martin's Church are typical of Walloon country life.
The economy is based on agriculture and small-scale services, with easy access to the N55, which connects to the cities of Charleroi and Maubeuge. Honey and dairy products are produced in the region, and an annual village festival in the fall attracts tourists from around the region.
