Questions

Common questions.

Why was Egypt, Arkansas founded?

No real town began to develop until about 1898, when New York businessmen came for the area's timber. The Sedgwick Tie and Timber Company built a narrow-gauge railroad connecting the timberlands to the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis Railroad.

What happened to Egypt after the timber era?

The town declined once the timber was gone and the school consolidated. Its schools joined the Westside Consolidated School District in the late 1960s, and Egypt incorporated as a town on May 24, 1984.

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.
