About Arkansas
Arkansas is nicknamed "The Natural State" for its forests, mountains, and hot springs, and Hot Springs National Park — right in the middle of a town — protects natural thermal springs people have bathed in for centuries. Little Rock, the state capital, sits on the Arkansas River and was a major flashpoint in school desegregation in 1957.
