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.
