Questions

Common questions.

Where is Oxford, Arkansas?

Oxford is on Highway 9 in Izard County, about halfway between Melbourne and Salem, and its northern border is the Fulton County line. The city covers 6.54 square miles at 784 feet elevation.

What is Oxford's history?

Wiley Croom was one of the first settlers and built the first cotton mill and grist mill in the region. A minor skirmish was fought near the Croom farm in December 1863.

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.
