Flood history: The Flood of 1927 caused a great deal of damage in eastern Poinsett County.

Setting: Heavily forested when the railroad arrived, at 210 feet elevation; Visible remnants of three Native American mounds remain within the town.

Arkansas summers are hot and humid. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals put average yearly precipitation at Little Rock 50.4 inches. Warm, damp air is what lets mold take hold in attics, crawlspaces and bathrooms.

Questions

Common questions.

How did Tyronza get its name?

In 1883 the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf Railway built a small depot called Tyronza Station, named for the nearby Tyronza River. The post office took the depot's name in 1888.

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.

Why do crawlspaces matter in Arkansas houses?

EPA notes that crawl spaces with high humidity are common sites of hidden mold growth, especially over bare soil, and that soil moisture raises the humidity in the air above it. Arkansas summers are humid, so crawlspace moisture is a common thing buyers ask about. EPA also advises grading the ground away from the foundation so it does not stay wet.
