Common questions.

How did McRae get its name?

The community was named for Searcy attorney and Confederate brigadier general Dandridge McRae. It did not exist as a defined community until its first post office opened in 1889.

What was McRae's strawberry history?

Strawberry shipments began in 1894 from neighboring Garner, and production thrived from 1915 to 1950. A drought from 1952 to 1954 led to foreclosures, and soybeans overtook strawberries by the 1950s.

What historic building is in McRae?

The McRae Jail, built in 1934, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Do Arkansas home inspectors have to be registered?

Yes. Arkansas requires anyone who advertises as a home inspector or performs a home inspection for a fee to register with the Arkansas Home Inspector Registration Board first. The state calls it registration rather than licensing. Buyers can ask any inspector for proof of current registration.
