Secluded and peaceful on the edge of the Mississippi Delta, Ashley County is the home of the small towns of Crossett and Hamburg. Crossett’s own PRCA Rodeo, the Hamburg’s World-Famous Armadillo Festival in May, and the award-winning Finney Christmas Light Display are perfect examples of our thriving local spirit. We are a popular area for fishing, hunting, camping, and almost anything outdoors including walking through Felthensal National Wildlife Refuge. Major employers are Georgia Pacific, Hood Packaging, Ashley County Medical Center, Crossett School District, Hamburg School District, and Century Next Bank.
