Arkansas State Flag
Brief History. Hernando de Soto was the first European to visit this territory, but the first settlement, the Arkansas Post, was not made until 1686. In 1803 the area was acquired by the U.S. as part of the Louisiana Purchase. Missouri parted from Arkansas in 1819 after the first large wave of settlers arrived. Arkansas joined the Confederacy in 1861, but was occupied by the Union troops in 1863. Today, Arkansas is famous for Hot Springs National Park and Buffalo National River.Flags of the World > US State Flags > Arkansas State Flag
