Nicknamed the "Natural State", Arkansas truly does fit this name. Lumber and wood products are the primary products found here with food products tagging right along.
One of the most famous people from the state of Arkansas is William Jefferson Clinton. Born in the city of Hope, he was the 42nd president of the United States where the motto is Regnat populus (the people rule).
The capital of Arkansas is Little Rock, where the first European explorers traveled. This is where they first met the Quapaw Indians, where the name Arkansas came from. Then, while on expedition, La Sallearrived at "La Petite Roche" where the "little Rock" rested by the banks of the river. Several expeditions followed by the French and Spanish with not many settling there. Even in 1819, when Arkansas became a territory, Little Rock was still just an untamed wilderness. Soon the word got out that, this might just be a good place to settle and raise a family. In 1836, Little Rock became the capital of the great state of Arkansas.
One of the early settlers of Arkansas was Hernando De Soto in the mid-16th century, but leave it to a Frenchman, Henri de Tonti, to find the first settlement in 1686. In 1803 the U.S. purchased the area as part of the Louisiana Purchase. As the years went by, the cotton industry developed and plantations sprouted up everywhere. It was in 1861 that Arkansas entered the Confederacy. Arkansas was the 25th state in the U.S. and became a state on June 15, 1836.
