Arkansas was initially part of the colonial territory of France and later Spain before becoming a U.S. territory. It was designated as the Arkansas Territory in 1819, following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The territory was established to organize the land acquired from France, allowing for governance and settlement. Arkansas became a state in 1836, marking its transition from territorial status.
