Arkansas was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Quapaw and Osage. European explorers and settlers, such as French and Spanish explorers, began to arrive in the region in the 16th century. Later, American settlers moved into Arkansas in the early 19th century, leading to the establishment of the Arkansas Territory in 1819.

Why did Arkansas choose their state motto?

No one is quite sure why Arkansas chose "The people rule" as the state motto. One thought is that Arkansawyers had, at the time, a habit of carrying large dagger-like knives (giving Arkansas the nickname "The Toothpick State"). Also, much of Arkansas lies within the Ozark mountains, which was originally settled by outlaws and renegade Indians.

Who was first to settled Arkansas?

The region that became Arkansas was unknown to Europeans until the 1540s. Fifty years after Christopher Columbus landed in the western hemisphere, the European exploration of Arkansas began. The first settlement was not founded for another 140 years, and the first permanent settlement forty years after that. Throughout the colonial era, Arkansas underwent dramatic demographic changes. At the time of the first Spanish explorers in the 1540s, Arkansas was a land of heavily populated villages and extensive farm fields. By the time of the first French expeditions in the 1670s, Arkansas was sparsely populated with isolated villages and tribes but with an abundance of wild game and other resources. The focus of the colonial era was not on the promotion of substantial immigration but on the exploitation of wild game for trade. By the end of the colonial era, Arkansas had attracted individuals and families of diverse races and ethnicities. People of French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Anglo-American, and African descent joined the Indian peoples of Arkansas and a myriad of tribes from across the continent.
