Living In Little Rock, AR

The city of Little Rock is the state capital of Arkansas and the largest city in the Natural State. The city was founded in 1821 and earned its name from a small rock formation on the south bank of the Arkansas River. La Petite Roche served as a landmark for river traffic and was a well-known river crossing for travelers and traders. The city has come a long way since those days, garnering an interesting history along the way.
