Moving in Cabot

Cabot at a glance

Cabot is the largest city in Lonoke County, with 26,569 people at the 2020 census and an estimated 27,575 in 2024. It's part of the Little Rock metro, northeast of Sherwood along US 67/167.

What that means for your move

Cabot is a fast-growing commuter city with many newer subdivisions, so moves are often whole family homes with garages and yard equipment. Moves to and from Little Rock run down the highway through Jacksonville and Sherwood, and timing around rush hour helps an hourly bill; see local moving. Many families here are connected to the nearby air base and may move on short notice.

Bigger lots

Homes outside the center often sit on larger lots with sheds, trailers and workshops. List everything that's moving, including lawn mowers and outdoor furniture, when you ask for a quote. Long commutes on US 67/167 mean timing a move outside rush hour can save money.

A railroad town

Cabot grew up as a small settlement around a refueling station on the Cairo and Fulton Railroad after the line bypassed nearby Austin. The settlement first appeared in 1873, and by 1889 businesses lined the tracks: general stores, drugstores, a hotel, a livery stable and a cotton gin. In the hills nearby, Camp Nelson Confederate Cemetery marks the graves of soldiers who died in an 1862 typhoid epidemic. Today the old railroad town is surrounded by subdivisions, and many families arrive from elsewhere in the state; see long-distance moving.
