Questions

Common questions.

How did Viola get its name?

Newton Barker, who started the post office in 1860, came from Viola, Kentucky and named it for his hometown. Many people assumed it honored his daughter, Viola.

What was Viola like in the 1800s?

In 1889 it had two general stores, a drugstore, a flour mill, two cotton gins, blacksmith shops, a school and a Masonic lodge. A sawmill had been built by the start of the twentieth century, and the town stayed unincorporated until 1941.

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.
