Introduction
Arkansas became the United States' twenty-fifth state on June 15, 1836. The state's largest city and capital is Little Rock. The state gets its name from a Sioux word "acansa", meaning "downstream place". The pronunciation of the state's name has been subject to discussion for many years until the General Assembly declared in 1881 the correct way to say the state's name is "Ark an-SAW". Arkansas is home to the only active diamond mines in the nation as well as birthplace of President Bill Clinton. The Natural State has 52,075 square miles and ranks 27th in land size.
