Arkansas:

In the mid-16 century, Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto was one of the first Europeans to visit this area, and a Frenchman, Henri de Tonti, created the first settlement in 1686. The U.S. purchased the region as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Arkansas started out as part of the Missouri Territory but separated in 1819. The cotton industry thrived and Arkansas was part of the Southern plantation system until the Civil War.

The largest employer is the food industry, with lumber and wood close behind. Arkansas leads the nation in the growth of soybeans, rice and cotton.

The only active diamond mine in the U.S. is near Murfreesboro and it's a popular tourist attraction. Major state sights include the Buffalo National River, which is in the Ozarks, and Hot Springs National Park. Bill Clinton's birthplace in Hope, the Historic Arkansas Museum in Little Rock, Blanchard Springs Caverns the Arkansas Folk Center draw thousands of visitors each year.

Famous residents or natives include Maya Angelou, President Bill Clinton, Bronco Billy Anderson (actor), Dee Brown (author), Daisy Bates (social reformer), Helen Gurley Brown (editor), Glen Campbell (singer), Hattie Caraway (1st elected woman senator), Johnny Cash (singer), Eldridge Cleaver (social activist), and William Darby (founder of the Darby Rangers).

Are 55+ Communities Really "Retirement" Communities?

Many people who live in age-restricted communities (usually for people age 55+) are still gainfully employed. So why would they live in what is considered a "retirement" community? Why not continue to live in a standard neighborhood? People still employed choose age-restricted communities for the same reasons as people who are retired do: the safety, amenities and sense of community that one can provide. And whether employed or not, once the kids are grown, it is sometimes nice to live in a neighborhood where small children do not congregate.
