Search Faulkner County People Records

A Faulkner County people search starts in Conway, the busy seat of one of central Arkansas's fastest growing counties. The county was set up in 1873 and named for Sandford C. Faulkner, the man behind the old fiddle tune "The Arkansas Traveler." Conway is also home to three colleges, including the University of Central Arkansas, so the population skews young.
