Mission & History
Southern Development was incorporated in 1958 primarily for the purpose of land subdivision and development. Usually carrying the morgtgage on property sold, a major portion of the corporation's assets was often held in the form of credit. The corporation has never owed any debt. With a few exceptions a dividend has been paid to stockholders each year.
—————————————
In 1989 SDC became Arkansas' No.1 Authorized Notary Bond Service corporation when the State of Arkansas authorized it to issue Notary Bonds in accordance with the Act No. 304 of the 1989 Arkansas General Assembly. There are about 45,000 active Notaries Public in Arkansas. For over 2 decades it has been a commitment of SDC to provide the Surety Bond required in order for a person to become a Notary Public at a competitive price through local Independent Agents.

The word "Demesne" is derived from an old Scandinavian word (pronounced kind of like "domain") meaning a district, territory or realm. It is also a legal term having to do with possession and use of one's own land.
Some of SDC's undeveloped land is now available for lease. SDC will improve and build on the land for a qualified tenant.
