Fun fact about Arkansas for kids is the beauty of the state's landscapes. The Natural State is known for its ancient hot springs, beautiful scenery, and one-of-a-kind diamond mine. With 3 million residents, Arkansas offers a wide variety of outdoor activities and historical sites. Here are some fun facts about the Natural State that are great for kids. Here's what you should know about this incredible state.During the early days of the state, there were few people of color in the population. This was due to state voting laws that did not allow minorities to vote. The federal government overturned these laws, allowing African-Americans to vote. Then, the state's population was more evenly split, and this created a greater sense of diversity. Until the post-World War II era, however, Arkansas remained relatively homogeneous. Then, in 1861, nine African-American students sought admission to an all-white school in Little Rock. The white community tried to create barriers to prevent the students from attending, and the National Guard was called in to protect the Black students. The incident became an iconic moment in the Civil Rights movement.The state is also known for its diamond mines and bauxite deposits. During the 1920s, it was the first state to discover diamonds. Other notable Arkansans include Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, and Bill Clinton. The country's most famous city, Little Rock, is the state's capital and the center of commerce, education, culture, and governance. These are just a few of the many interesting facts about Arkansas for kids.
