Capital: Little Rock (largest city).
Joining the US: June 15, 1836, as the 25th state.
Neighboring states: Missouri (north), Tennessee and Mississippi (east), Louisiana (south), Texas and Oklahoma (west).
Geography: Arkansas has a varied landscape: the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains in the north and west, dense forests, lakes, rivers, and the fertile lowlands of the Mississippi Delta in the east.
It is landlocked (no coast) and is known for its hot springs, forests, and outdoor activities.
Highest point is Mount Magazine.
Economy and culture: The economy traditionally relies on agriculture, but also on companies such as Walmart (headquarters in Bentonville) and Tyson Foods.
Tourism is important due to the natural environment (parks, hiking, hot springs).
The state has a strong Southern culture with many Christian influences.
In short: a relatively quiet, rural state with impressive nature, mountains, and rivers, right in the middle of the American South.
Perfect for those who love the outdoors and history!
