Joseph T. Robinson was the most prominent politician from Lonoke County in the twentieth century. He served as state legislator, governor, congressman, and majority leader in the U.S. Senate. When he was chosen as the Democratic vice-presidential candidate in 1928, friends and local citizens decorated his home in Lonoke for a homecoming party. The once prominent home was demolished some years ago.
