History
The state of Arkansas got it name from an Indian tribe called the Quapaws that were settled in the state when the first European visitors arrived in the 16th Century. Many places in Arkansas are French pronunciations of Indian words. In 1803 Arkansas was acquired by the United States in the Louisiana purchase. In 1861 Arkansas joined the Confederacy during the Civil War, but in 1863 the northern part of the state was occupied by Union troops. -
Geography

Other rivers in Arkansas include the St. Francis river, Red river, White river and the Quachita river. The capitol and also largest city in Arkansas is Little Rock. A large amount of Arkansas is still in its natural state and includes large wilderness areas which attracts many tourists. -
