Located in Northeast Arkansas, the capital of Clay County is an important economic, cultural and educational center for the region. Incorporated in 1859, the city was once an important cotton trading hub in the American South due to its proximity to the Black River and the rise of its agricultural resources. Today, the city is centered on Arkansas State University, the region's top institution of higher learning, which infuses the area with youthful energy and academic resources. Economically, the city's mainstays are agriculture (soybeans, cotton), manufacturing and healthcare services, and in recent years it has been attracting technology companies. Culturally, the Delta Fair, an annual event that combines agricultural displays and local music, has become a local landmark. As the gateway to Northeast Arkansas, Jonesboro is a great place to live and work, combining history with modern potential.
