In the heart of Arkansas lies a hidden gem, Kiblah, a place where history, heritage, and the promise of a bright future converge. Our journey begins with a fascinating revelation – Kiblah, strategically nestled at the junction of two vital highways connecting Arkansas and Louisiana. The community owes its

existence to a series of federal land patents. When these individual patents unite, they give birth to a unique entity known as the Kiblah Nation.

Once upon a time, Kiblah was more than just a name on the map. It was a thriving river port and a bustling trading hub, a testament to the resilience and spirit of our ancestors who called it home. However, history took a tumultuous turn during the Civil War, when the North’s naval blockade led to the deterioration of Southern cotton, leaving both the North and South scarred by the conflict.

Arkansas, too, bears the marks of a troubled past with discriminatory laws that sought to divide its people. In response, the North issued perpetual land patents to settlers in an area they dubbed Kiblah. Remarkably, Kiblah stands alone in Arkansas, bearing federal land patents explicitly declaring their permanence. When these family patents unite, they form a nation with the potential to become a resort destination. Kiblah, with its strategic location along highways 49 and 71, provides a gateway to and from Louisiana, making it a prime location for activities like deer hunting.

Out of this rich history, The Kiblah Nation emerged, driven by a single purpose – to resurrect the legacy of Kiblah and reconnect its descendants scattered across the globe. We proudly issue membership certificates to those who rightfully belong to this unique nation.

Operating under the name The Kiblah Community Renewal and Historical Foundation, we are on a mission to restore Kiblah’s former glory and transform it into a beacon of pride and rejuvenation. Kiblah serves as a canvas from which we can craft a brighter and more prosperous future for all.

We extend a heartfelt invitation to each and every one of you to join us in this remarkable journey to be a part of the Kiblah Nation, where together, we can weave a unique story and honor the proud legacy of our ancestors by reinvigorating the vibrant town of Kiblah. By becoming a part of our mission, you will play a role in preserving the heritage of our great-grandfathers and securing Kiblah’s future. Together, we can aspire to attract visitors, establish a resort, and rewrite the narrative of Kiblah’s history.
