Helena-West Helena

Tucked along the Mississippi River in the Arkansas Delta, Helena-West Helena is a place whose character is shaped by the river’s broad floodplain. The city occupies an old river-port landscape of levees, farmland and low-lying wetlands, close to the meeting of the Mississippi and St. Francis rivers. Blues is central to its public identity: the long-running King Biscuit Time radio program originated in Helena in 1941, while the King Biscuit Blues Festival carries that musical legacy forward. Civil War history is also part of the city’s story; the 1863 Battle of Helena is commemorated through local sites and interpretation.
