Hopefield was the first settlement in Crittenden County, Arkansas near the Mississippi River bank.  The city was burned to the ground by Federal Forces on February 19, 1863.

Today, the +/- 800 acre Hopefield tract in West Memphis is primed to regain prominence as an industrial site located less than 1/3 mile from I-40 and I-55.  BNSF and UP rail service are located on the property.  The site is < 2.5 miles from the Port of West Memphis on the Mississippi River.  Arkansas State University Mid-South provides labor force training at the West Memphis Main Campus.  The site is a certified Foreign Trade Zone and is in the process of becoming a shovel-ready site listed with the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.
