The state's oldest American Legion post relocated Wednesday from downtown Little Rock -- its home for nearly 50 years -- to a smaller, more cost-efficient building in North Little Rock, a move that saved the post from permanently closing its doors.

Browning, Clark County surveyor (18461850, 18521854), who settled along the old Caddo Cove Road just north of the Caddo River late in 1847. An abundance of water and rich bottomland drew them to the area. Soon after his arrival, Browning built a large two-story log house just west of Caney Creek.
