Arkansas

Admitted as the 25th state in June, 1836, Arkansas was named for an Algonquian term, meaning the Quapaw Indians. Known as "the Natural State", its diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions of the Ozark and the Ouachita Mountains, to the densely forested land in the south known as the Arkansas Timberlands, to the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River and the Arkansas Delta.
