Arkansas state flag
All of our flags at Star Spangled Flags are 100% made in the USA from start to finish! We use a tough, nylon fabric to hold up outdoors, extra stitching on the fly end of the flag, and a special UV coating to prevent fading from the sun.
Arkansas flag, Made in USA
It’s Ar-kan-saw not Ar-kan-sas, mispronounce this state’s name and it’s either a fine or jail time for you. Locals are called as Arkansawyers, Arkansan or Arkies. It is surrounded by other states with Missouri in the north, Tennessee and Mississippi in the east, Louisiana in the south, and Oklahoma in the west.
Arkansas, nicknamed “The Natural State” is located in the Southern part of the country. Its nickname was created to promote the tourism sector in the 1970s. It is only fitting to have “The Natural State” for its pet name because up to this day it maintains 52 states parks with seven of them being preserved by the National Park Service.
Once pictured as a banjo-picking hillbilly state and a cashless society during the early 1800s, it has successfully transformed its economy to cater to today’s consumer needs. Six of the 500 Fortune companies have headquarters in Arkansas. CNBC reported that the state ranks 20th state best for business and it’s still one of the most affordable states to live in.
