Questions

Common questions.

How did Bergman get its name?

The town was first called Clabby, reportedly after a railroad worker. It later took the name of Edith Bergman, its first postmistress, who gave her name to the post office and town.

What is Bergman known for?

Bergman is known for its role in Arkansas's poultry industry. Tyson Foods built a feed mill there in 1987, and more than 100 poultry houses were built nearby in the late 1980s.

Is there a historic building in Bergman?

Yes. The Bergman high school, built in 1930, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A fire in 1944 destroyed several of the town's older buildings.

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.
