Maumelle is a suburban city located roughly ten miles from downtown Little Rock in Pulaski County. It was originally a planned city whose growth and demographics would be carefully monitored and maintained in order to create a commuter's city near Little Rock. Since the 1980s, Maumelle has seen dramatic growth that includes numerous small businesses and large businesses alike, which, combined with local residents, provide a good deal of tax revenue which allows for its own fire and police departments. It is also home to a water treatment facility better known as Maumelle Water Management. Maumelle also sports its own golf course, the Maumelle Country Club; two lakes, Lake Maumelle and Lake Willistein; a library, which is part of the Central Arkansas Library System; a community center; as well as a charter school and several daycare centers. The city also has several Christian churches such as Shepherd of Peace Lutheran Church; there is also a Methodist church, and more recently, a New Life church.

 Six thousand acres of farmland were purchased in 1941 by the federal government for use as an ammunition depot known as the [[Maumelle Ordnance Works]]. The facility was sold in 1959 to [[Perry Equipment Company]]. In December 1961 the land and buildings were acquired by the [[City of North Little Rock]] which hoped to erect an industrial park.
