The Association was first organized in 1893 and called the “Ouachita River Improvement Association.” In 1854 Congressional action designated Arkadelphia, Arkansas as the head of navigation on the Ouachita River. At the present time, commercial navigation terminates at Camden, AR. In 1950, the people changed the name of the organization to the “Ouachita River Valley Association”.

 

The Ouachita River Valley Association is a nonprofit organization engaged in the promotion of the development of projects that have been proven to be economically sound, socially justified, which enhance the general welfare of the people in the Ouachita River Basin in Arkansas, Louisiana and the nation.
