Text on Arkansas State Mug:
Arkansas’s official nickname is “The Land of Opportunity” but is also called “The Natural State”. The name Arkansas is taken from the Arkansas River, which is named for the Native Americans of the Arkansa tribe. The s was added as a plural, though it remains silent in the pronunciation.
North and west are the Interior Highlands; east and south is the Coastal Plain.
The Interior Highlands include the Ozark Mountains, the Ouachita Mountains, and the Arkansas River Valley, which divides the two highland regions. Little Rock is the capital and largest city of Arkansas. The state entered the Union on June 15, 1836, as the 25th state.
