Questions

Common questions.

How big is Grubbs?
It is a town of about half a square mile with 301 residents in 2020.
Why did Grubbs move in 1906?
The Bonnerville and Southwestern Railroad ran south of the first settlement, so a new town was platted along the tracks and residents moved there.
Who was Grubbs named for?
Jackson County created Grubbs Township in 1884, named for farmer and politician James C. Grubbs.
What storm is recorded in Grubbs history?
A severe storm in 1917 wiped out the town's telephone system.
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.
