The Helena AR area is the state's major Mississippi River port and a beautiful old city with antebellum and Victorian homes. Its peaceful atmosphere today belies the horror of the Civil War battle that was fought there in 1863. West Helena evolved as an industrial extension of the city of Helena AR, located 5 miles east. Founded in 1909, the city was built around factories and mills Helena had no room for. West Helena was incorporated in 1920. Check out our Best Western hotel in West Helena.
