Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Little Rock, Arkansas has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1722 as a French trading post. The city’s name derives from a small rock formation along the Arkansas River that served as a landmark for early settlers and travelers. In 1821, Little Rock became the capital of the Arkansas Territory, and in 1836, it was officially designated as the capital of the state of Arkansas. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Little Rock played a key role in various historical events, including the Civil War, when the city served as a strategic location for both Union and Confederate forces. The city also witnessed significant civil rights struggles, most notably during the 1957 desegregation crisis at Central High School. Today, Little Rock is a bustling metropolitan city known for its vibrant culture, arts scene, and outdoor recreational opportunities. It continues to honor its past while embracing the future as a thriving hub of commerce and innovation in the American South.
