Salem is an unincorporated community in Saline County about two and a half miles north of Benton, around Congo and Salem roads. It had 2,544 residents at the 2020 Census and is about 29 miles from our Maumelle office.
Salem, the settled farm country north of Benton
Salem was farm country first, drawing settlers by the Civil War for its land north of the old Military Road, and it grew fast during World War II when Alcoa and Reynolds built aluminum plants in Saline County. Unlike much of the county, which has more than quadrupled since the 1950s, Salem has held steady lately: 2,607 residents in 2010 and 2,544 in 2020.
A community that is settled rather than booming is mostly established homes, not new construction, and on a house that has stood for decades the roof is rarely the original. Storms reach it like the rest of the county: on April 5, 2025 a line of storms crossed Saline County with gusts up to 80 mph.
Salem is named for its church. The Salem Camp Meeting has gathered every year since 1867, making it one of the oldest Methodist camp meetings in Arkansas, on a campground that reached its present site by 1855. Most locals also know the Salem Dairy Bar, built by Fulton Baxley in the early 1960s, and the corner store at Congo and Salem roads that Elsworth Ward built in the 1950s; a mile east, LaBelle on Hurricane Creek had a gin, mill and blacksmith shop by 1889.
Trees are the usual storm damage here. Several trees came down in Salem on October 24, 2010, one onto a house, and on August 22, 2026 the county emergency manager reported a tree blown onto a home in Salem.

What homeowners near Salem say
Louann was my first contact with this company and she walked me through every step. My roof required the old shingles be removed. They found a lot of damage and repaired it all. The took pictures every step of the way and I was able to use those pictures for my house insurance reinspection.
The job was completed in a day and the area around my home was spotless. I cannot recommend these guys enough. I am very happy and secure in knowing my home is safe and protected.
This was major project for me but they made it very easy and I will never regret having picked this company. I first heard of this company on the radio. It was around Thanksgiving and the station was offering up dinners for the less fortunate. Patriot called and donated more dinners.
I knew I could trust them with my home. Thank you all.

Roofing questions from Salem
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Salem?
No. Salem is an unincorporated community in Saline County, and a roof replacement there does not require a permit.
My house made it through the April 2025 storms. Should I still have the roof looked at?
If no one has been on it since, yes. The National Weather Service recorded gusts up to 80 mph across Saline County that day, and wind can break the seal on shingles without tearing them off.
How big has hail been near Salem?
The largest StormerSite lists within 5 miles is 1.5-inch hail in Benton on March 1, 2023, and NWS reports golf-ball and hen-egg hail at Bauxite in the March 10, 2018 outbreak. Shingles can bruise at those sizes without an obvious hole.
