While European explorers visited the area in the mid 16th century, it was not until 1686 that a Frenchman by the name of Henri de Tonti, founded the first permanent settlement.
Originally part of Missouri, the land became a separate entity in 1819, and joined the Confederacy in 1861, and by 1863 the north was occupied by Union troops.
After this the area moved heavily into cotton, but today Food products like soybeans and rice are among the major industries. Next to this timber is also a huge export.
While in Arkansas, you can get your hands dirty and visit the only public diamond mine in the world (perhaps you will go home with more than you came with).
After a day of mining, relax in the Arkansas famous Hot Springs or peruse the local galleries and restaurants. Admirers of President Bill Clinton can browse the Clinton Presidential Library in the capital’s downtown of Little Rock.
