He noted a landmark on the north bank of the Arkansas River, which he referred to as the "French Rock " (now known as "big rock "). The first outcropping of rock along the riverbanks above its mouth on the south bank came to be known as the La Petite Roche -- "Little Rock. " The city of Little Rock was incorporated just over 100 years later.
