Most Americans know Arkansas through its favorite sons. "The Man in Black," vocalist Johnny Cash was born in Kingsland, Arkansas. Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, opened his first store in Bentonville, Arkansas and former President Bill Clinton still looms large over the state, even though he lives in New York now.

But to get to what's really unique about Arkansas, you have to look past the people, to the state itself. While it doesn't have Colorado's towering Rockies, or Alaska's glaciers, Arkansas isn't nicknamed "the Natural State" for nothing. Arkansas is the only place in America where careful diggers can pull diamonds from the ground. In Western Arkansas, the Ouachita Mountains and Ozark Plateau (collectively known as the Arkansas Highlands by locals) reach upwards one last time, before the flat, Great Plains begin to roll. It's in the Highlands where Arkansas' 9,700 miles of rivers begin. The Buffalo River is one of the last unpolluted, free-flowing rivers in the lower 48 states. It, and others, contribute to Arkansas' excellent freshwater fishing opportunities; especially on the Arkansas River or in Bull Shoals Lake. If angling doesn't catch your interest, Arkansas is a great place to just soak. The natural spas at Hot Springs, Arkansas are some of the oldest and best in America.

Now that you're moving to Arkansas, there are a couple facts you'll want to remember:

• The population of Arkansas is 2,673,400. Arkansas' state capital is Little Rock.
• Arkansas comes from a French variation of a Sioux word, "acansa," meaning "place downstream."
• Arkansas is the only state in America that has written the correct pronunciation of its name (ar-kan-saw) into law.
