Questions

Common questions.

How did Ash Flat become the county seat?

Sharp County's first courthouse was built in 1870 in Evening Shade and the second, completed in 1894, in Hardy. Ash Flat is now the county seat; The Arkansas General Assembly designated it as such in 1967, while the Encyclopedia of Arkansas notes a 1963 community center there with rooms used as court areas.

How old is Ash Flat?

Ash Flat was established in 1856 and named for a grove of ash trees near the original town site. The Encyclopedia of Arkansas says the earliest families lived in the area in the middle to late 1820s.

Do sinkholes and flood zones affect homes in north and northeast Arkansas?

The Springfield Plateau is underlain by Boone Formation limestone where solution and collapse sinkholes are abundant, and the Salem Plateau has sinkholes in its dolostones. The Mississippi Alluvial Plain is the flattest part of the state with often poorly drained soils. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood, so buyers should check a property's FEMA flood zone.
