The “little rock” upon which Little Rock, the state capital of Arkansas, was named, was originally on a river bed. When most of it was demolished in the late 19th century to build a railroad bridge, part of the rock was saved. When it was thought that the “little rock” might become a tourist site, it was moved in 1932 to its City Hall, as the river bed and railroad junction was feared to be less safe.
