Magnolia is a city in Columbia County, Arkansas, United States. As of the 2010 census the population was 11,577.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Magnolia city, Arkansas )〕 The city is the county seat of Columbia County. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Profile for Magnolia, Arkansas, AR )〕 Magnolia is home to the World's Largest Charcoal Grill and the World Championship Steak Cookoff, part of the Magnolia Blossom Festival. ==History== The city was founded in 1853. At the time of its incorporation in 1858, the city had a population of about 1,950. The city grew slowly as an agricultural and regional cotton market until the discovery of oil just east of the city in March 1938, with the Barnett #1 drilled by the Kerr-Lynn Company. The Magnolia Oil Field was an important discovery, not just for the city but for the nation, as it was the largest producing field (in volume) during the early years of World War II, helping to fuel the American war effort. In March 2013 more than 5,000 barrels of oil leaked from a Lion Oil Trading & Transportation storage tank in Magnolia, with some flowing into a bayou.〔(''Latest Pipeline Spill Is Mostly Contained'' ) May 20, 2013 Wall Street Journal〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Magnolia, Arkansas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
