Questions

Common questions.

How has Cabot's population grown?

How did Cabot get started?
Settlement began in the early 1800s at nearby Austin. When the railroad bypassed Austin in 1873, a water and fuel stop was built on the site that became Cabot. The plat was filed September 25, 1891, and the town was incorporated November 9, 1891.
Has a tornado hit Cabot?
A tornado struck on March 29, 1976, causing millions of dollars of damage to businesses and homes and killing five people. The city recovered under the leadership of Mayor Willie Ray and started an annual festival, CabotFest, in 1978.
What historic buildings are in Cabot?
The Bank of Cabot was founded in 1903. Old Main, a brick school building, was built in 1915 and demolished in 1972. Camp Nelson Confederate Cemetery, about four miles southeast of the city, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
Why do crawlspaces matter in Arkansas houses?
EPA notes that crawl spaces with high humidity are common sites of hidden mold growth, especially over bare soil, and that soil moisture raises the humidity in the air above it. Arkansas summers are humid, so crawlspace moisture is a common thing buyers ask about. EPA also advises grading the ground away from the foundation so it does not stay wet.
