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.
