Chanticleer is a small place in Chicot County, Arkansas, United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes or buildings that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's managed by the larger county government.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it's not officially a city or town. It doesn't have a mayor or its own city council. Services like roads, police, and fire departments are usually provided by the county. Many small communities across the United States are unincorporated.

Where is Chanticleer Located?

Chanticleer is found in the southeastern part of Arkansas. It's specifically located in Chicot County. This area is known for its flat land and proximity to the Mississippi River.
