Welcome to Rome ...

So far, we found very little information about Rome. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Rome to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Rome - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Rome, please Contact Us.

While we don't have the exact location of Rome , we believe that it would have been located within present day Arkansas County<2>.

When the people of Rome referred to themselves (known as a demonym), they are believed to have used Roman<3>

Footnotes ...

<1>	We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Rome, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>	If you're interested in how the shape of Arkansas' counties, including Arkansas, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>	A demonym is the name for a resident of a community which is usually derived from (or is related to) the name of that community. In other words, it's how the residents of Rome refer to themselves. It's important to note that there aren't any rules for taking a community's name and turning it into a demonym. A demonym is informal and while the majority of Rome may use one name, keep in mind that others may use something different.
<4>	When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 870 code has been Overlayed with the 327 area code. New phone numbers in the Rome area will be assigned with one of these codes: 870 or 327. As a result, placing a call in the Rome area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
