The county was formed on November 2, 1829 and named in recognition of the citizens' petition for a new county, which said that they were petitioning "in the spirit of Union and Unity."

Called by boosters the "Queen City of South Arkansas", El Dorado was at the heart of the 1920s oil boom in South Arkansas. More recently, the city has been called "Arkansas's Original Boomtown," as it emphasizes its historic assets for heritage tourism.[2] The chemical and timber industries became important during and after World War II, and still have a place in the economy.
