Searcy
The United States of America is a country in North America that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and shares land borders with Canada and Mexico. The United States is a federal constitutional republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia.
Searcy is the largest city and county seat of White County, Arkansas, United States. According to 2006 census bureau estimates, the population of the city is 20, 663. It is the principal city of the Searcy, metropolitan statistical area which encompasses all of White County. Like Searcy County, the city takes its name from Richard Searcy, a judge for the Superior Court of the Arkansas Territory.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 38.3 square kilometers. Perhaps coincidentally, Spring Street also suggests some reference to earlier days of settlement in the Searcy area, when the community was known as White Sulphur Springs. As early as 1834 local springs with purported therapeutic properties initially drew visitors to the area, similar to the popular attraction to Hot Springs, Arkansas.
In the city the population was spread out with 19.7 percent under the age of 18, 23.4 percent from 18 to 24, 23.3 percent from 25 to 44, 17.8 percent from 45 to 64, and 15.9 percent who were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females there were 89.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 87.4 males.
Searcyis also known as the town of best geographical environment and has traced its origins back to prehistoric times. Today, one can also learn about its history, from its earliest times and can also enjoy its natural beauty concealed by the beautiful landscapes.
