Even though some are just a
road sign to those passing by, |

| Townships | |||

Arkansas counties are broken down into Townships.
Listed below are the Townships of Polk County and when they were formed.
Arkansas Constables are elected according to Townships. Townships
are not to be confused with Cities and Towns, even though many times their
names are the same. For instance the Cove Township does not cover
the area where the Town of Cove is located. It covers the area where
the Town of Hatfield is located. |
