Weed is a small place in Poinsett County, Arkansas, in the United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes or buildings that isn't officially a town or city. It doesn't have its own local government like a mayor or city council.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it's not set up as a formal town or city. Instead, it's part of a larger county. The county government handles things like roads, police, and other services for these areas. This is different from a city, which has its own local rules and leaders.
Where is Weed Located?
Weed is found in the northeastern part of Arkansas. It sits on the north side of the St. Francis River. This river is an important waterway in the region. The community is also very close to the BNSF Railway, which is a big train track system. Weed is located near the northwest edge of a town called Marked Tree.
