Since Ouachita County was founded in 1842, its government has occupied several different courthouses in Camden. The first two were destroyed by fire, a common occurrence in Arkansas, and the third, shown here in the 1890s, was almost completely destroyed by a tornado in 1931. It was rebuilt (completed in 1933) and that structure is still in use today.
