The name itself is from the denotation to the Quapaw Indian tribes that resided in the state, the Name Arkansas is the derivation in Siouan language of the Quapaw tribe members with culture of state easily visible in the style of buildings, the food and even the types of recreational activities.The occupation by frontiersmen in the 1800s earned the state a name of a ‘banjo picking hillbilly state’, however, despite the stereotype; the state was still the frontier of development in various American fronts. Famous figures such as Education advocate William Fulbright and even former President Bill Clinton, the Wal-Mart family and even famous singers such as Johnny Cash and Glenn Campbell were from the state of Arkansas.

Military details
The state is home to the Little Rock air force base which was established in 1953 after the Second World War; however, even though the construction was completed, several of the base’s facilities were still incomplete which meant the rest of the facilities such as the storage buildings; runways, etc. were not completed until 1957.
Over the years, the base has hosted many different aircrafts as well as technologies; however, the crucial point was in the mid 1970s when the state decided to overhaul the overall infrastructure and facilities in the base. When all improvements were complete, the first ever C 130 Hercules aircraft landed in the base.
Ever since, the base has been home to the famous plane and to this day continues to be the main operating base for the C 130. It houses schooling and training equipment for the plane and it is the only department in the defense sector that deals with the C 130. The base also has dealings with troops from the 28 allied countries of the United States and played a very key role in the Gulf war of 1991 where the C 130 Hercules became one of the most iconic planes in the United States air force in delivering troops, equipment and heavy firepower.
