About Arkansas
Arkansas was originally part of the Louisiana Purchase, which opened up the West. There's even a national historic landmark in Arkansas that tells the story of the famous land purchase. It's called Louisiana Purchase State Park.
Little Rock became the state’s capital in the early 1800s, and today it’s the largest city in Arkansas. The city was named for a stone outcropping along the Arkansas River that had become a landmark for travelers. An alternate name of Arkopolis did make it onto a few maps, but it was Little Rock that stuck in the end. Little Rock is probably best known for its role during the Civil Rights era. A national crisis erupted in 1957 when nine African American students were not allowed to enter a Little Rock high school that they had enrolled in.
Agriculture is the state's largest industry, with its major exports including rice, cotton, soybeans, poultry, and feed grains. Arkansas is also home to six Fortune 500 companies—Dillard's, J.B. Hunt Transport, Murphy USA, Tyson Foods, Walmart, and Windstream Holdings.
Arkansas also holds the distinction of having the only active diamond mine in the U.S., Crater of Diamonds. It's actually open to the public—for a small daily fee, you can dig for diamonds to see what you can find. The largest diamond ever found at the mine weighed 40.23 carats. It was unearthed in 1924. The second-largest, at 9.07 carats, was found there more recently in 2020.
Famous names who hail from Arkansas include poet Maya Angelou, singer and songwriter Johnny Cash, NBA player Scottie Pippen, former president Bill Clinton, and Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. And when it comes to film, movies that used Arkansas as their backdrop include Sling Blade (which won an Academy Award), Mud (starring Matthew McConaughey), and The Firm (starring a young Tom Cruise).
Finally, if you ever take a road trip through the state of Arkansas, there are plenty of oddball roadside attractions you may find along the way. In Hot Springs, for example, there's the half-man, half-fish (Merman) at the Arkansas Alligator Farm. Or, if that doesn't interest you, there's Tiny Town (featuring tiny 1970s TV celebrities) or the Josephine Tussaud Wax Museum. Both are also located in Hot Springs. In Berryville, you'll find Snake World, and in Fayetteville, there's the 30-foot tall dancing hog, the tallest statue in Arkansas. And there's the birthplace of Walmart in Bentonville, where you can see founder Sam Walton's office, just as he left it.
