Arkansas is located in the southeastern United States and is the nation’s 29th largest state (in area).

A slave-holding state, Arkansas seceded from the Union to join the Confederacy in 1861, and was the site of several major Civil War battles. The state is nicknamed the Natural State because of its beautiful lakes, rivers, mountains, and wildlife. More than half the state of Arkansas is covered by forestland. Arkansas is home to a wide array of natural resources including petroleum, natural gas, bromine and silica stone.

It is technically illegal to mispronounce “Arkansas” while in Arkansas. It should be pronounced in three (3) syllables, with the final ‘s’ silent, the ‘a’ in each syllable with the Italian sound, and the accent on the first and last syllables.

Since the 1830s the area now known as Hot Springs National Park has bathed notables as diverse as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Babe Ruth, and Al Capone.
