ONLINE VACATION
LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, USA
5/15/14
Hi Everyone. I am continuing with state capitals by going to
Little Rock, Arkansas.
Little Rock is the capital and the largest city of the U.S. state of
Arkansas. As of the 2010 US Census, Little Rock had a city proper
population of 193,524. It is the county seat of Pulaski County.
Located near the geographic center of Arkansas, Little Rock derives its
name from a small rock formation on the south bank of the Arkansas
River called la Petite Roche (French: "the little rock"). The "little
rock" was used by early river traffic as a landmark and became a well
known river crossing. The "little rock" is across the river from "big
rock," a large bluff at the edge of the river, which was once used as
a rock quarry.
Little Rock is home to many museums, colleges and universities, and
medical centers.
January is normally the coldest month with average temperatures between
31 and 51 °F. July is normally the hottest month with average
temperatures between 73 and 93 °F. November tends to be the rainiest
month with an average of 5.3 inches, and a yearly average of 49.8
inches of rain. January tends to be the snowiest month with an
average of 1.6 inches, and a yearly average of 3.5 inches of snow.
The lowest temperature recorded was -12 °F on February 12, 1899. The
highest temperature recorded was 114 °F on August 3, 2011.
I hope you enjoy this trip to Little Rock, Arkansas.
