Drew County is regional economic, educational, and cultural hub in the Southeast Arkansas region. Created as Arkansas's 51st county on November 26, 1846, Drew County contains four municipalities, including Monticello, the county seat and largest city. The county is named for Thomas Drew, the third governor of Arkansas.

Located mostly within the Piney Woods on the border with the Arkansas Delta, the county is largely flat to rolling and covered in pine-hardwood flatwoods or pine plantations.
