Questions

Why is there a South Lead Hill?

Bull Shoals Dam, dedicated in 1952, created a lake that inundated the original Lead Hill. A few families chose a location a bit south of the relocated Lead Hill and named their town South Lead Hill; It was incorporated in 1970.

Why was the town relocated?

The reservoir behind Bull Shoals Dam flooded the older Lead Hill, so families chose a new site south of it.

When was Bull Shoals Dam built?

Construction began in 1947 and the dam was dedicated in 1952.

When was the new town dedicated?

A dedication ceremony was held on March 9, 1950.

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.
