Little Rock got its name from the famed La Salle Expedition in 1682, when the party landed at "La Petite Roche" on the southern banks of the Arkansas River.

Many artifacts have been found that suggest Native Americans inhabited central Arkansas thousands of years before European settlers arrived. These original inhabitants may have included the Folsom people, Bluff Dwellers, Mound Builders, Caddo, Quapaw, Osage, Choctaw and Cherokee.

Arkansas was left untouched by European hands until 1541 when Hernando de Soto of Spain traveled through the area.

Little Rock became the seat of Arkansas' new territorial government in 1821 and was incorporated as a city in 1831. In 1836, Little Rock was named capital of the newly admitted State of Arkansas.
