Pine Ridge, Arkansas, is a place in Montgomery County in the U.S. state of Arkansas. It is located at coord|34|35|9|N|93|54|36|W|.

The original name was Waters, but the name was changed in 1936 to Pine Ridge through a vote of the city's town council [http://www.oldstatehouse.com/educational_programs/classroom/arkansas_news/detail.asp?id=790&issue_id=37&page=8] . Waters was the basis for the fictional town of Pine Ridge, Arkansas on the radio show Lum and Abner, and the name of the real town was changed to honor and match the fictional one that made it famous.
