Archives International Auctions - The Huntsville Collection 21 November 21, 2023 Archives International Auctions www.archivesinternational.com Little Rock - Little Rock is the county seat of Pulaski County and the capital of Arkansas. Located near the state’s center, Little Rock was settled in the early 1800s and was named after the local rock formations. Like many cities in Arkansas, Little Rock was impacted by the Civil War. The unprotected state government moved to Hot Springs in Garland County for a short time following the retreat of the Confederate Army east. Little Rock was captured and occupied by Union troops in 1863. Following the war, Little Rock established a cemetery, which contains the remains of both Union and Confederate soldiers. The most famous event in Little Rock’s history occurred in 1957 with the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School. The conflict between white and black American citizens cast international attention on the issue of race relations in the United States. Today Little Rock remains the cultural and political center of the state. 31 31 Arkansas TreasuryWarrant, OnWar Bond, 1861, $1, Obsolete Scrip Note Little Rock, Arkansas.
