Questions

Common questions.

How did Hunter get its name?

Elizabeth Ann Hunt ran a wayside inn on the Military Road, and the place became known as Hunt's Station and then Hunter. Edward Shannon Hunt, a Union soldier from Ohio, was the first settler in the 1870s.

What did Hunter's economy look like historically?

In the late 1800s and early 1900s Hunter was a busy trading and shipping center. A sawmill operated on the outskirts in the 1920s, and the economy declined when the lumber ran out. Rice and soybeans are now a mainstay of the area.

Are there older homes in Hunter?

The Encyclopedia of Arkansas notes that a number of old homes in town have been renovated. The town peaked at 508 residents in 1910 and had 103 in the 2020 Census.

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.
