Orphan trains, which transported orphaned and abandoned children from the East Coast to the Midwest, made several stops in Arkansas during their operation from the 1850s to the early 1920s. Notable stops included cities such as Little Rock, Fort Smith, and Pine Bluff. These locations served as distribution points where families could adopt or take in children. The orphan train movement aimed to provide homes for children in need, and Arkansas was one of the many states involved in this initiative.
