Questions

Common questions.

How did Bellefonte get its name?
Residents reportedly named the settlement for its spring; The Encyclopedia of Arkansas notes the French 'belle fontaine' comes closest to the supposed Latin name. The post office was called Hussaw until 1852 and Mount Pleasant until 1871.
Was Bellefonte ever a county seat?
Yes. Bellefonte was the first temporary county seat when Boone County was created in 1869, but Harrison won the permanent seat in a close vote.
What historic building is in Bellefonte?
The Bellefonte railroad depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad line arrived in 1901.
Why is mold such a concern in Arkansas homes?
Arkansas has hot, humid summers. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals put Little Rock's average yearly precipitation at about 50 inches and its July average temperature at about 81 F. EPA advises keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, ideally 30 to 50 percent. Warm, damp air is why moisture problems show up in Arkansas attics, crawlspaces and bathrooms.
