About Downtown Little Rock

The capital of Arkansas, Little Rock is a metropolitan area with a population of 628,293 and more than a million people living within an hour's drive of downtown.

Little Rock got its name from the famed La Salle Expedition in 1682, when the party landed at "La Petite Roche" on the southern banks of the Arkansas River.

Little Rock became the seat of Arkansas' new territorial government in 1821 and was incorporated as a city in 1831. In 1836, Little Rock was named capital of the newly admitted State of Arkansas.

Centrally located, Little Rock is where the Southeast meets the Southwest, and the delta becomes the mountains. The city is 286 feet above sea level, with residential areas ranging from 300 to 630 feet. The City of Little Rock is 119.5 square miles, while North Little Rock is 49.3. Pulaski County covers 781 square miles.

The geographical, political and financial center of Arkansas, Little Rock is at the meeting point of its two major regions, the northwestern hills and the eastern Delta. The town today has a relaxed, open feel, a far cry from the dramatic events of 1957. In the rapidly expanding River Market District, 500 E Markham St, the Museum of Discovery, geared largely toward kids is a welcome and fun addition. This area contains the majority of Little Rock's activity, with a series of restaurants, bars and the actual farmers' market on the river. Behind the museum is Riverfront Park, a thin strip of greenery and fountains that runs for several blocks here, a commemorative sign marks the "little rock" for which the city is named, which is not particularly striking.
