About Little Rock, Arkansas
Little Rock is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Arkansas. Little Rock was named for a stone outcropping on the bank of the Arkansas River used by early travelers as a landmark, which marked the transition from the flat Mississippi Delta region to the Ouachita Mountain foothills. The Arkansas Arboretum at the park features flora and tree plantings correspond to Arkansas's six geographical regions. (Wikipedia)
