Norristown was the name of two Arkansas communities in Pope County, Arkansas, United States. The first was a 19th-century town and trading center on the Arkansas River. In the last part of the twentieth century, a neighborhood called Norristown was developed below and east of nearby Norristown Mountain, eventually becoming an incorporated town in Illinois Township. The town merged with Russellville on August 14, 1980.
