city, county seat
Helena's roots trace back to its founding in 1833 as a port on the Mississippi River.
The surrounding county is typically one of the poorest of Arkansas's 75 counties.
The King Biscuit radio show (the longest running daily radio show in history) is still broadcast daily on KFFA 1360 AM from Helena. First broadcast on November 21, 1941, King Biscuit Time featured legendary Blues artists Sonny Boy Williamson and Robert Jr. Lockwood playing live in the studio. The show was named after the locally distributed King Biscuit Flour. The radio show was made famous by its caricature in the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou".
