Solgohachia (pronounced saw-guh-HATCH-ee ) is an unincorporated community in Conway County, Arkansas, United States, about 10 miles (16 km) north of Morrilton on state highway 9 and Highway 287. The name is from the Choctaw word Sok-ko-huch-cha, meaning "muscadine river" (Cushman, p. 603).
Even though it is an unincorporated community, Shannon Oakley was appointed "Mayor" of Solgohachia.
Nearby Solgohachia Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 26, 2004.
