In Cabot, what was once a farming community has been rebuilt as a bustling Little Rock suburb. The city of around 27,000 people has spent recent years growing its residential areas and developing more commercial sites. It is now the largest city in Lonoke County. The Cabot School District is the county’s largest employer, followed by the Remington Arms Company and Walmart, Inc. The city’s growth and location give residents options on how to spend their time. “It has a small-town feel, but if you want the bright lights of Little Rock, you can be there,” says Jon Bloomberg, a managing broker with Crye-Leike Realtors. “If you want things out in nature, there are lakes and hills not far away. It’s country one direction and city the other.”
Most homes in Cabot are surrounded by tall trees.
Remington Arms Company is one of Cabot's largest employers.

CabotFest is highlighted by a cricket-spitting contest
The city has added an art walk and large-scale murals to its downtown in recent years. The Cabot Foundation for Arts & Culture was established in 2019 to increase the city’s output in those areas. CabotFest, held each October, is a weekend of carnival rides, food vendors and a cricket-spitting contest. The city has several churches of various denominations.
Game Time at the Grounds is a gamechanger
Cabot is actively expanding its recreation scene, particularly athletic facilities. Game Time at the Grounds, opened in 2024, is an indoor facility with six basketball courts that can transition into 12 volleyball courts or 18 pickleball courts. The facility also has turf fields and a cafe. The city plans to use the facility for local and regional tournaments. Other city parks have playgrounds, baseball and softball diamonds and walking paths.
Kids love to climb on the playground at Richie Road Park.
