Questions

Common questions.

How did Peach Orchard get its name?

The area began as an estate called Petit Baril, set up by Pierre Le Mieux in the early 1800s. Americans called it Peach Orchard, and he deeded the land in 1816.

What shaped Peach Orchard's growth?

The St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad was built through western Clay County in 1873. A post office opened that year, timber drove the economy, and the city incorporated in 1910.

Why is mold such a concern in Arkansas homes?

Arkansas has hot, humid summers. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals put Little Rock's average yearly precipitation at about 50 inches and its July average temperature at about 81 F. EPA advises keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, ideally 30 to 50 percent. Warm, damp air is why moisture problems show up in Arkansas attics, crawlspaces and bathrooms.
