Craighead County was part of the territory that France claimed on April 9, 1682, by Rene Robert Cavelier, who claimed all the land drained from the Mississippi River and its tributaries. LaSalle's claim was renamed Louisiana to honor Louis XIV King of France.
France and Spain signed the Treaty of Fontainebleau. The Spanish crown received Louisiana's territory west of the Mississippi River as a result of the Seven Years' War. Craighead County was made a Spanish possession.
Spain ruled the entire territory of the county from October 1, 1800, until Napoleon Bonaparte made Spain return the territories to France by the Treaty of Ildefonso. Napoleon had grandiose plans for a French Empire in Louisiana, but the Royal Navy stopped him from sending troops or settlers over to the territories.
The fear was so great in the United States, that Napoleon tried to block American trade from the Mississippi River. Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States, inquired about buying a portion near the river's mouth to ensure it was open for American goods. Napoleon needed money and offered to sell the United States all of Louisiana for $23,213,568.
In 1803, the treaty was signed and Craighead County, which would eventually become the United States, became the property of the United States.
Craighead County was part of the Louisiana Territory from the time Louisiana became a state. The Missouri Territory was then attached to the territory of modern-day Arkansas.
The area was added to a new subdivision called Arkansas County in 1813. This was a subdivision of the Arkansas District of Missouri. The county was further divided and Lawrence County was created with its seat in Davidsonville. The majority of Arkansas was included in this new county. The modern Craighead County was located in Arkansas County, and partly within Lawrence County.
