Overview
Arkansas Post was established in 1686 by Henri de Tonti at the invitation of the Quapaw.
The French-Quapaw communities of Arkansas were culturally mixed communities that developed along the Arkansas River during the French colonial period and continued into the 19th century. Centered around Arkansas Post and nearby Quapaw villages, these communities emerged through alliances, trade relationships, and intermarriage between French colonists and the Quapaw people.
