About Higginson

Higginson sits just south of Searcy, offering a quiet, small-town setting with easy access to bigger-city conveniences. The town got its start in the early 1900s as a bustling railroad stop, quickly growing to include local hotels, cafes, and grocery stores serving passengers and workers. While the busy depot days are in the past, that relaxed, rooted history still defines the community's character.

Today, Higginson is a calm, friendly place to put down roots, featuring established properties alongside newer developments like the Morning Sun subdivision. Local kids attend Searcy Public Schools, and the town maintains its own post office, volunteer fire department, and neighborhood churches. Thanks to its spot along U.S. Highway 67, residents enjoy an easy commute into Searcy for shopping, dining, and healthcare while coming home to a quiet neighborhood at the end of the day.
