Update
is a city in Pulaski County, Arkansas, United States. The population was 831 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Little Rock–North Little Rock–Conway Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The city is an example of an enclave, as it is completely surrounded by Little Rock, the county seat and state capital.
According to the mayor's webpage , the community chose to incorporate in 1943 since Little Rock officials at the time believed that the community was "too far west."
The case of RUSSELL et al. v. COCKRILL, Judge. No. 4-8181 was filed in the Supreme Court of Arkansas on February 10, 1947. Petition by Don Russell and others for a writ of prohibition directed to J. Mitchell Cockrill, Judge of the Sixth Judicial District of Arkansas, commanding the respondent not to proceed further with a certain suit instituted by John Cornyn as plaintiff against petitioners and others as defendants, in which Cornyn seeks to contest a special election held in Cammack Village on November 19, 1946, on the question of annexation of Cammack Village to the City of Little Rock. The writ was denied.
On October 3, 1946, there was filed with the county clerk of Pulaski County a petition signed by electors of Little Rock, and by electors of Cammack Village, asking for annexation of Cammack Village to Little Rock. The City Council of Little Rock approved the petition and the county court made an order directing that an election be held to determine the will of the electors of each of the affected municipalities as to the proposed annexation.
The election was held on November 19, 1946. The returns, as canvassed by the county court, showed that in Little Rock 308 electors voted for the proposed annexation and 112 electors voted against it, and that in Cammack Village 141 electors voted for the annexation and 139 electors voted against it. Since the proposal received a majority of the votes cast thereon in each municipality the county court, on November 26, 1946, entered an order declaring that the proposed annexation had received the necessary popular endorsement.
On April 3, 2008, Cammack Village was a topic of national discussion as it was ravaged by an F1 tornado that passed through northern Little Rock. While there were no fatalities, at least five houses were completely destroyed and many more sustained severe damage.
