==== History Timeline  ====
Emphasis for this timeline is on events that affected migration, records, or record-keeping. Unless otherwise mentioned, the events below were taken from the Hot Spring County page on the website, [http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/ The Encyclopedia of Arkansas History and Culture]. <ref>Jennifer Atkins-Gordeeva, ''The Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture,'' (http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=774&type=Category&item=Counties&parent=Counties%2c+Cities%2c+and+Towns&grandparent= : accessed January 13, 2016), “Hot Spring County.”</ref>
*1818 - The Quapaw tribe ceded control of the lands surrounding the forty-three hot springs to the United States.
*1829 November 2 - Hot Spring County was established by an act of the territorial legislature with land taken from Clark County.
*1865 (and after) - Hot Springs thrived after the Civil War, unlike many other Arkansas towns.
*1850s-1870s - River transportation was becoming less important as the railroad moved west.
*1879 October 15 - The popularity of river travel yielded to the efficiency of rail, and fast-growing Malvern officially replaced neighboring Rockport as the county seat.
*1945 - World War II brought an unprecedented demand for the barite found in Hot Spring County—the solid deposits of barite were useful in oil-well drilling. Following the war, various industries were established in the county.
