'''Pankey''' is a suburban subdivision on [[Arkansas Highway 10]] in west Little Rock, Arkansas.

Pankey was established as a middle-class black neighborhood circa 1930. The area is named for schoolteachers [[Josephine Pankey]] and [[Samuel Pankey]], who bought the land from local farmers and then resold parcels to African American families for $12.60 to $24. The Pankeys left the city of Little Rock for what was then a rural area of [[Pulaski County]] in the 1920s after the lynching of [[John Carter]] by a white mob.

Land owners in the unincorporated community were expected to pay membership dues to the [[1916 Real Estate Club]]. Josephine Pankey gave away lots to found a Girl Scout camp, four churches, and the [[Pankey School]]. The school was torn down in 1988.

Pankey is increasingly becoming a sprawl of suburban businesses, including Starbucks.
