History
Paraclifta, Arkansas was a community in Sevier County, Arkansas during the 19th century. Located on the Cossatot River, the community was the first county seat of Sevier County, but lost its status as such to Lockesburg in 1869 after the transfer of land from Sevier County to other counties meant that Paraclifta was no longer centrally located. Most of the community's residents moved to Lockesburg in the early 1870s, shortly after the county courthouse was established there and the county records were moved.
