Paup is a small, quiet place in Miller County, Arkansas, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that don't have their own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community like Paup is a place where people live. However, it does not have its own official city hall or mayor. The local services, like roads and police, are usually managed by the county government. This is different from a city, which has its own elected leaders and rules.
Where is Paup Located?
Paup is found in the southwestern part of Arkansas. It is located on U.S. Route 67, which is an important highway. The community is about 7.8 miles (12.6 kilometers) northeast of Texarkana. Texarkana is a larger city that sits right on the border between Arkansas and Texas.
