Why Diaz homes need a local read

Around town: Shiloh Cemetery, one of the chief landmarks, and Highway 367, with Highway 67 bypassing the city.

Radon in Jackson County

Questions

Common questions.

How old is Diaz?

The railway built a station here in 1882 on land sold by Caroline Cox, and the town was platted in 1901. It stayed unincorporated until November 19, 1956, with Sarah Emma West Hurley as first mayor.

Why is it spelled Diaz?

The station was named for Joseph Dyas, one of the railroad's first conductors. The Encyclopedia of Arkansas says the reason for the spelling change to Diaz was not recorded. Some residents called the farming community Shiloh.

Did Diaz grow after incorporation?

Yes. In the 1970s the city annexed land that doubled its acreage and pushed its population above 1,000. A municipal building was dedicated in 1973, and the 2020 census counted 1,224 residents.

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.
