Questions

Common questions.

How did Corning begin?
In late 1872 the Cairo and Fulton and the Iron Mountain railroads met at the Arkansas-Missouri border, and by February 1873 mail was arriving for the newly named Corning. The town grew rapidly as a railroad town and county seat.
What drives the local economy?
Rice and soybeans form the backbone of the agricultural economy. A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service hatchery in Corning operated until 1983 and is now the William H. Donham State Fish Hatchery.
Do Arkansas home inspectors have to be registered?
Yes. Arkansas requires anyone who advertises as a home inspector or performs a home inspection for a fee to register with the Arkansas Home Inspector Registration Board first. The state calls it registration rather than licensing. Buyers can ask any inspector for proof of current registration.
