Questions

Common questions.

How did Clarkton get its name?

The name honors Henry E. Clark, a contractor on a new plank road that led to the town. A post office called Beech opened in 1855, and the name changed to Clarkton in 1870.

Where is Clarkton?

Clarkton sits at the intersection of Missouri Routes 25 and 162 in the western Missouri Bootheel, with Gideon just to the east.

Why do crawlspaces and basements matter in Missouri houses?

EPA notes that crawl spaces with high humidity are common sites of hidden mold growth, especially over bare soil. Missouri summers are humid, so foundation moisture is a frequent buyer concern. EPA also advises grading the ground away from the foundation so it does not stay wet.
