Bryant, Arkansas is located in Saline County, and it is a suburb of Little Rock. Bryant currently has a population of about 16,500. The city was incorporated in 1892. The first known citizens of the area were a group of pioneers that were headed to Texas, traveling thru Arkansas but were delayed when Hurricane Creek flooded. While they waited for the water to subside so they could continue their journey, they fell in love with the area and stayed, creating the settlement of Dogwood Springs, just north of Bryant, around 1835. Dogwood Springs is called Collegeville today.

There was a small amount of Civil War activity in the area, primarily a skirmish known as Skirmish at Hurrican Creek (aka Battle at Hunter's Crossing, the same incident which refers to the farmer who owned the field)

In 1871, the St. Louis and Iron Mountain Railroad began building a railroad from Little Rock, completing the line in 1873; the railroad and train depot in Bryant was significant in the growth of the town. A canning factory opened near the depot, and in 1878 the township was created, and it was incorporated October 29, 1892.

During WWI, two aluminum plants were built nearby, causing additional growth. The interstate hiway was built thru Bryant in the 1950s.

I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
