History

Brinkley is located in Monroe County in the rich relics from the past and rolling farmlands of the Arkansas Delta. A Petition Request was granted to incorporate Brinkley on August 6, 1872, at which time the town had 50 qualified voters. The original charter was filed with the Secretary of State of Arkansas on August 21, 1872. Duck hunting is a major source of income for the city during the months of November, December, and January. With many rice fields flooded for the winter, and being located on the Mississippi Flyway, ducks are very prevalent throughout the region.
