Fort Smith is the second largest city in the U.S. state of Arkansas and the seat of government of Sebastian County. The 2010 population was 86,209. Fort Smith is located near the Oklahoma border.
The city was particularly known in the 19th century for the court of U.S. District Judge Isaac Parker, the "Hanging Judge" who sent some one hundred criminals to the gallows.
From 1967 to 1972, Fort Smith was represented in the Arkansas House of Representatives by the Republican George E. Nowotny, Jr., a geologist and businessman originally from New Braunfels, Texas, and later a resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
