Moving to Arkansas?

Arkansas – why is it pronounced “Arkensaw”? That was in fact the original name, which means “land of downriver people” and originates from the indigenous Quapaw tribe. When the territory became the twenty-fifth US state in 1836, both names were used. After a dispute between two state senators in 1861, the official pronunciation became part of state legislature.

Although first visited by the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in the mid-sixteenth century, it was not until 1686 that a French colony was established. The first permanent European settlement was at Arkansas Post, which remained the state capital until 1836 when it was moved to Little Rock. During the Indians’ forced move westward, the Five Civilised Tribes – the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole – inhabited the area after they were driven across the Mississippi river, until they were moved on again in the 1820s. This was when the cotton plantations began to flourish in the lands of the Mississippi Delta – slave labour was used extensively in the region. Despite this dependence, Arkansas refused to join the Confederacy, only doing so when President Lincoln called on the state to support the Union with troops.

The years following the defeat in the Civil War saw large migration to the Delta, with especially high numbers of Italian, Syrian and Chinese immigrants coming to seek their fortune in the late nineteenth century. They were followed by a wave of Germans and Slovaks, who settled the prairies in the early twentieth century. The hotchpotch of cultures notwithstanding, the state remained conservative and there was widespread shock when in 1957 a group of African-American students known as the Little Rock Nine enrolled in a white school. The school board resisted their attempt until President Eisenhower intervened on their behalf, sending US Army troops to escort the students to school. Today, the state retains traditional values as part of the Bible Belt.

With the subtropical Delta in the east, the Ozarks in the northwest and the Buffalo river running through the north, it’s obvious why this is known as the Natural State. The Ozarks are the largest mountain range between the Rockies and the Appalachians, home to the Hot Springs National Park and Blanchard Spring Caverns, as well as offering some of the most forests and mountain scenery in the country the state tree is the pine, and the state insect is the honeybee. Food production, the lumber trade and farming are the main sources of income for the three million people of Arkansas, who live predominantly in rural areas. It is the only place in the US where diamonds are still mined; Murfreesboro is a tourist attraction as well as an operating mine.

Although Johnny Cash is more commonly associated with Nashville, he was born and raised in Arkansas; so too were Maya Angelou, Beth Ditto, Winthrop Rockefeller, and Billy Bob Thornton. The most famous and probably the most charming person to have emerged from the state, however, has to be former president Bill Clinton. Regnat populus – the people rule.
