Jonesboro sits atop Crowley’s Ridge, a narrow band of hills rising above the flat farmland of the Arkansas Delta, and serves as the business, medical and educational center for northeast Arkansas. Arkansas State University, home of the Red Wolves, is the city’s largest institution, and two regional hospital systems, St. Bernards and NEA Baptist, draw patients from across the region. Agriculture drives the surrounding economy, with rice, soybeans and cotton grown on vast farms nearby, while manufacturers such as Hytrol, a conveyor maker, and food processing plants add industrial jobs.
Jonesboro Municipal Airport is minutes from downtown and campus, while the nearest major airport, in Memphis, is more than an hour away by road. Flying private makes it easy for agricultural businesses, healthcare executives and university visitors to come and go in a day, and to reach farms and duck-hunting lodges across the Delta. Visitors can explore Crowley’s Ridge parks, Johnny Cash’s boyhood home in Dyess and the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum in Piggott.
