Questions

Common questions.

What historic structures are in Keiser?

Two Keiser structures are on the National Register of Historic Places: a school built in 1929 on land Lee Wilson donated, and a water tower built by the Public Works Administration during the Depression.

What was the land like before Keiser was settled?

The land was swampland dotted with hardwood forests. Efforts to drain the swamps and build levees began late in the nineteenth century and accelerated under Lee Wilson.

How did Keiser get its name?

The city was named for John Keiser, a friend of Lee Wilson. The depot settlement was earlier called Savage Crossing, and the city did not officially incorporate until 1933.

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.
