How did Senath get its name?

When did the railroad reach Senath?

In 1897 the St. Louis, Kennett, and Southern Railroad was extended south from Kennett to Senath, giving the city its first rail connection. Senath was incorporated March 10, 1882.

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.
