Questions

Common questions.

What is Malden's airfield history?

Malden Municipal Airport was an Army airfield and then an Air Force base from 1942 to 1960. It trained pilots for World War II and the Korean War.

How did Malden get its name?

The name may honor Colonel T. H. Mauldin, a county judge, though others say it was transferred from Malden, Massachusetts.

Are sinkholes and flood zones a concern for Missouri homebuyers?

Missouri DNR reports more than 16,000 known sinkholes, and says sinkholes can damage home foundations and are hard to predict. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood, and FEMA reports almost one-third of flood insurance claims come from outside high-risk zones. Buyers in the Ozarks should check both the sinkhole history and the property's FEMA flood zone.
