In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Since then, 3 countries have claimed possession of Arkansas- Spain France, and the US. The name itself comes from the Indians who lived there. At the time of the early French exploration, a tribe of Indians, the Quapaws, lived West of the Mississippi and north of the Arkansas River. The Quapaws were also known as the downstream people. The Algonkian-speaking Indians of the Ohio Valley called them the Arkansas, or "south wind."
Many place names in our state, including the name of Arkansas (pronounced Ark-an-saw), are French pronunciations of Indian words. At the time of the early French exploration, a tribe of Indians, the Quapaws, lived West of the Mississippi and north of the Arkansas River. The Quapaws, or OO-GAQ-PA, were also known as the downstream people, or UGAKHOPAG. The Algonkian-speaking Indians of the Ohio Valley called them the Arkansas, or "south wind."
Marquette and Joliet followed the Mississippi river south to the Arkansas river. Marquette and Joliet made their exploration trip in 1673.
