SALEM, FULTON COUNTY, ARKANSAS

Salem is the county seat of Fulton County.  The courthouse was destroyed by fire during the Civil War.
After the Civil War, another log courthouse was erected that stood until 1870, when it, with all of the records, was again destroyed by fire.
The courthouse that stands now was constructed soon after that fire.
The town name was changed from Pilot Hill to Salem on February 20, 1872.
