Egypt, AR

united states

Egypt is a tiny farming community in northeastern Arkansas's Craighead County with just 57 residents. Located along Highway 135 about 15 miles from Jonesboro, it sits in the fertile Mississippi Delta where cotton and soybeans dominate the landscape. Most visitors access the area via Interstate 555 from Jonesboro, then follow local roads west. The community once had its own post office from 1900 to 1955, serving Delta farmers during the region's agricultural heyday.
