Fayetteville, Arkansas (pronounced 'FAY-it-vil') is completely distinct from Fayetteville, North Carolina — and is actually newer (founded 1828 vs. NC's 1783). The Arkansas Fayetteville is the only US 'Fayetteville' where people actually argue about whether the 'r' is silent; Razorbacks football has made 'Woo Pig Sooie!' a statewide call.
