Water nearby: Beaver Lake, created in 1966, supplies the city's water; by the 1950s local springs could no longer meet demand.

Questions

Common questions.

How did Springdale get its name?

The settlement was called Holcombe Springs for a time, then Shiloh after the church. The name Springdale is short for "springs in the dale."

Did a tornado hit Springdale recently?

Yes. An EF3 tornado struck Springdale on March 30, 2022, damaging or destroying several structures and injuring seven people.

Where does Springdale get its water?

Beaver Lake supplies the city. By the 1950s the local springs could not produce enough water, and the lake was created in 1966.

What bedrock is Springdale on?

It sits on the Springfield Plateau. Erosion removed Pennsylvanian sandstone and shale and exposed Mississippian limestone.

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.
