Nicknamed the
"Land of Opportunity," Arkansas, which joined the Union in 1836,
was the 25th state. The early French explorers of the state gave it its
name, which is probably a phonetic spelling for the French word for
"downriver" people, a reference to the Quapaw Indians and the
river along which they settled. Arkansas is the only state in which diamonds
have been mined, although today the mine operates only as a tourist
attraction. The state flower is the apple blossom.
