What is so inconsistent about the name of the river and it's location?
It starts in the Colorado Rockies and merges into the Mississippi River in
Arkansas
So yes.. the Headwaters of the Arkansas River is in Colorado and does flow
through the George.

Simple Google will figure that out.

The Ohio River is the Allegheny and the Monongahela at Pittsburgh and
doesn't go through Ohio either.

.... then imploded it (I was there to watch it fall at 8 am on a Sunday
morning) and built Heinz Stadium on its parking lot to replace it,
complete with ketchup and 57 varieties of baked beans.

It would seem the Mississippi rises in William-and-Maryland
(because it becomes the Ohio and the Monongahela.)

Of course, William-and-Maryland had to be renamed Maryland
because it was next door to William Penn's wood land (sylvania)
where William Mason and William Dixon had to draw the dixie line
and William Pitt the younger had built Pittsburgh and they were
all descended from William the ******* who conquered England
in 1066 and there were too many ****ing Williams.

The Headwaters of the William River is in William Colorado
so they called it the Arkansas River instead, but only after the
USA helped Britain defeat Kaiser Wilhelm.

Speaking of the Mason-Dixon line, if you're into books (or books on tape!)
check out A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, lots of
interesting anecdotes on things like the Mason-Dixon line.

Did you say "BILL" Bryson? That's another William, I couldn't possibly
read that. What with Buffalo William, William Gates and William Clinton
from Williamsburg, you Yanks are overrun with them.
Do they all run through the George, I wonder...
Sheesh, even your greenbacks are dollar williams.

Well actually it does. There are several places where both sides of the
river are in Mississippi.
