}}Monticello {{IPAc-en|m|ɒ|n|t|ɪ|s|ɛ|l|oʊ}} is a city in, and the county seat of, Drew County, Arkansas, United States.[2] As of the 2010 census it had a population of 9,467.[3]

Founded in 1849 in the Arkansas Timberlands very near the Arkansas Delta region, the city has long been a commercial, cultural and educational hub for southeast Arkansas. With a historically agriculture- and silviculture-based economy, Monticello has diversified to include growth from the medical sector and the University of Arkansas at Monticello (UAM).

History

When Drew County was formed in 1846, its citizens decided that a new town should be built to serve as the county seat. In 1849, land was donated for the town site. The first courthouse was built in 1851, and a second courthouse was erected in 1857. Two trials were held in that courthouse in March and September 1859 to consider whether the slave Abby Guy ought to be freed. The first trial resulted in a hung jury but the second jury of twelve local men found in her favor and she was set free. [4]

During the Civil War, several small skirmishes were fought around Monticello. The Rodger's Female Academy was used as a hospital for Confederate soldiers.[5]
