Questions

Common questions.

When was Horseshoe Bend built?

Bill and Dick Pratt bought abandoned land for a retirement community in the late 1950s and created 56 subdivisions on 14,000 acres. About 12,000 lots had sold by 1974, and the city incorporated on October 2, 1969.

Is Horseshoe Bend in more than one county?

Yes, it is the only Arkansas city with land in three counties: Izard, Sharp and Fulton.

Is the ground around Horseshoe Bend stable for lakes?

Cedar Glade Lake never filled as planned because engineers discovered that the water was emptying into a previously unknown cave. Crown Lake, at 640 acres, is the largest lake.

Do sinkholes and flood zones affect homes in north and northeast Arkansas?

The Springfield Plateau is underlain by Boone Formation limestone where solution and collapse sinkholes are abundant, and the Salem Plateau has sinkholes in its dolostones. The Mississippi Alluvial Plain is the flattest part of the state with often poorly drained soils. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood, so buyers should check a property's FEMA flood zone.
