Redistricting Prior to the 2010 redistricting cycle, the first Senate district was located in northern Arkansas. After the
2010 Census, Senate districts were renumbered, with incumbent Republican
Johnny Key being redistricted to the new 17th district.
James Luker of the old 17th district was moved to the 1st district, but was term-limited. From January 2013 to January 9, 2023, the district contained portions of the counties of
Benton and
Washington.
