The history of Arkansas began millennia ago when humans first crossed into North America. Many tribes used Arkansas as their hunting lands but the main tribe was the Quapaw who settled in Arkansas River delta upon moving south from Illinois. Early French explorers gave the territory its name, a corruption of Akansea, which is a phonetic spelling of the Illinois word for the Quapaw.[1] This phonetic heritage explains why "Arkansas" is pronounced so differently than "Kansas" even though they share the same spelling.[2] What began as a rough wilderness inhabited by trappers and hunters became incorporated into the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and became Arkansas Territory in 1819. Upon gaining statehood in 1836, Arkansas had begun to prosper under a plantation economy that was heavily reliant on slave labor. After the Civil War Arkansas was a poor rural state based on cotton. Prosperity returned in the 1940s. The state became famous for its political leadership, including President Bill Clinton (Governor, 1979−81 and 1983−92), and as the base for the Walmart corporation.

The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2020 established the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA), for the purpose of developing and implementing an Anti-Doping and Medication Control (ADMC) Program and a Racetrack Safety Program comprised of national, uniform rules and regulations to make racing safer for both human and equine athletes and strengthen the integrity of the sport. HISA will begin implementation and enforcement of the Racetrack Safety Program on July 1, 2022. The rules and national accreditation standards were drafted by a committee of independent and industry experts and have been through a multistage consultation, stakeholder engagement and public comment process culminating in its approval by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). HISA continues to make significant progress in bringing together industry stakeholders and independent members in various fields to usher in a new and safer era for thoroughbred racing and its athletes.
