In the early 19th century, following various treaties, several thousand Cherokees voluntarily moved to the Arkansas Territory. Estimates suggest that around 1,000 to 2,000 Cherokees relocated to this area during this period, primarily seeking better opportunities and land. This voluntary migration occurred before the forced removal known as the Trail of Tears, which led to the displacement of many more Cherokees to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma).
