The county was formed on November 1, 1833, and named for Lieutenant Zebulon Pike, the explorer who discovered Pikes Peak.

During the Civil War, Pike County men formed two full companies for service in regiments formed in Montgomery County, in the Confederate Army, with the most active being the 4th Arkansas Infantry, and the county was firmly in support of the Confederate States of America. In 1864, Murfreesboro served as a winter quarters for the Confederate regiments assigned to that area, with Union Army regiments wintering just eighteen miles away in and around Antoine.

During World War II, Murfreesboro was used as a site to house and work German prisoners of war.
