About Ward
Ward is the second most populous city in Lonoke County (population 6,052 at the 2020 census, per Wikipedia — up from 2,580 in 2000). A railroad town on the US-67/167 corridor just west of Cabot, it has grown rapidly as spillover from Cabot's boom, with new subdivisions and commercial development along the highway. Housing is mostly newer single-family homes, and like Austin it sells Cabot's school district at a comparatively affordable price point.
