Caddo Gap, Arkansas

Caddo Gap, Arkansas

Caddo Gap is a small unincorporated community in Montgomery County, Arkansas, United States. It lies between Glenwood and Norman on the Caddo River. It is best known as the area in which explorer Hernando De Soto and his forces clashed with the Tula Native Americans, a sect of the Caddo Indian tribe. The expedition described the Tula Native Americans as the fiercest they had faced during their inward journey into North America.Fact|date=December 2007

After this, the expedition turned back east, making it as far as the Mississippi River, where de Soto died. It is contested as to whether he died of fever, or from a wound received during the fighting. There the expedition had a secret burial ceremony and sent his body into the river.

A monument to this event stands in the heart of the small community, which now has a population of less than 100.
