Craighead County is one of a handful of counties in the state to have two county seats; they are Jonesboro and Lake City. The second county seat, Lake City, was created by legislative action in 1883. Approximately eighteen years later in 1901, the courthouse shown in this photo was constructed. The building continues to serve the residents of that part of the county.
