When Hernando de Soto entered Arkansas in 1541, he and his expedition encountered various Native American tribes, including the Quapaw. The expedition faced challenges such as difficult terrain, harsh weather, and tensions with local tribes. De Soto's group sought resources and gold, but ultimately found little wealth, leading to increased hostility and conflict with indigenous peoples. This marked a significant and tumultuous phase in de Soto's exploration of the southeastern United States.

Hernando de Soto explored Arkansas during his expedition through the southeastern United States in the 1540s. He is believed to have crossed the Mississippi River and entered what is now Arkansas around 1541, where he encountered Native American tribes and documented the region's geography and resources. De Soto's exploration included mapping various rivers and valleys, and he sought riches such as gold, although he ultimately found little wealth. His journey contributed to European knowledge of the interior of North America.
