About Arkansas

Arkansas has become particularly well known in the world through the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton (Democratic Party). Its nickname within the United States is “The Natural State”, which rightly suggests untouched nature and a certain originality.

In terms of landscape, the state is characterized by forests, lakes, mountains and fertile plains. The Ozark Moutains shape the north and the Ouachita Mountains the south of the state. The highest point is Mount Magazine at 839 m, the lowest point is at 17 m on the Ouachita River.

Nature has some sights to offer here. The many rivers and lakes such as the Buffalo National River, the White River and Ouachita Lake are particularly worth mentioning in this context. In Petit Jean State Park you can admire the Cedar Falls. The state is also known for its many caves, such as the Blanchard Springs Caverns, which are among the most impressive stalactite caves on earth.

As in many states in the USA, the foliage color in autumn is impressive. The Foliage (or Indian Summer) case can be admired at Devil’s Den State Park.

Arkansas is one of the southern states, and the state motto of the self-confident state is “Regnat Populus” (in English: “The people rule”). Politically, the southern states of the United States are more conservative-republican, with Arkansas also showing democratic regions. The capital, Little Rock, and the Indian regions are more of a Democratic electoral area.

Residents and geography

Most residents are white, but there is also a large minority of African-American and Latino. The strongest religious communities are the Baptists, the Methodists and the Catholics.

Since there had long been confusion about how to pronounce the name of the state, an official decision was made in 1881 that the pronunciation should be contrary to the spelling “Arken-Saw”. Abroad in particular, people often still pronounce the name as it is written. As a holidaymaker, however, you can expect to be improved on this point more often.

Arkansas is separated from the two southern states of Mississippi and Tennessee by the Mississippi River. Other neighboring countries are Oklahoma in the west and Texas and Louisiana in the south. The pleasant climate makes Arkansas interesting as a travel destination all year round.
