Jonesboro, Arkansas -
Today, Jonesboro has established
itself as the perennial hub of Northeast Arkansas' agricultural
production. To the east lies the alluvial cotton delta and to the
southwest is the fertile rice land. Large farms produce soybeans, rice,
cotton, fish, and livestock. One of the world's two largest rice mills,
Riceland Rice, is located here.
The city has not limited itself to agriculture. It is the trade,
cultural, and medical center of a 7,000 square mile area. Because of its
shopping centers, shops, restaurants, and other attractions, Jonesboro
has become the major trade center for 500,000 people in northeast
Arkansas and southeast Missouri. Jonesboro has a modern hospital which
has been serving the area since 1902.
