Camden ar Wedding

Camden is a city in Ouachita County, Arkansas, United States. The population was 13,154 at the 2000 census. The city is the county seat of Ouachita CountyGR6.

In 1783, a French trader named Fabre settled on a bluff above the Ouachita River and called the settlement Ecore Fabre (Fabers Bluff or the Hill of Faber). This would mark the permanent settlement of what would become Camden. The city of Camden marks its founding as 1824, but it was not incorporated and officially named Camden until 1844. Some controversy exists over the origin of the name but most agree it is named for Camden, Alabama, the hometown of General Thomas Woodward, an early city founder. Prior to the name change from Ecore Fabre to Camden, the location was simply known as The Bluff.
