Crossett
Arkansas, United States
Crossett, city, Ashley county, southeastern Arkansas, U.S. It lies on pine-forested uplands near the Ouachita River, about 45 miles (70 km) east of El Dorado. Founded in 1899 by the Crossett Lumber Company (since 1962 part of the Georgia-Pacific Corporation), it remained a company-owned town until 1946, when it became an open community. Its lumber, pulp, and paper industries are based upon a continuous reforestation program initiated in the 1920s. Freight trucking and other industrial services, as well as the manufacture of chemicals and concrete, are also important to the economy. Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge is immediately west. Inc. town, 1903; city, 1946. Pop. (2000) 6,097; (2010) 5,507.
