Hot Spring County is a county located in the U.S. state of Arkansas. As of the 2020 census, the population was 33,040.[2] The county seat is Malvern.[3] Established on November 2, 1829, in the Arkansas Territory from a part of Clark County; it was named after the hot springs at Hot Springs, Arkansas, which were formerly in the county.
For nearly 80 years, Hot Spring County was an alcohol prohibition or dry county, though attempts in recent years to locate the county prohibition ordinance were unsuccessful.[4] In November 2022, voters overturned the prohibition, approving a measure to allow countywide retail alcohol sales.[5]
Hot Spring County comprises the Malvern, AR Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is included in the Hot Springs-Malvern, AR Combined Statistical Area.
After a lengthy petition, Hot Spring County citizens voted to turn the dry county wet on Tuesday.
