The Little Rock Friends Meeting traces its origins to a group that began meeting in Little Rock in 1953. The group requested preparatory status with Dallas in 1959, and officially reached monthly Meeting status in 1981. Throughout its early decades the group met various places including rooms in churches. In 1995 the Meeting bought a historic house on Markham Street which has served as the Meeting House since that time.
