The Smackover Historic Commercial District encompasses the civic and commercial heart of the small town of Smackover, Arkansas. It consists of sixteen buildings lining a single block of Broadway north of 7th Avenue. The area is reflective of Smackover's explosive growth following the discovery of oil in 1925; most of the buildings were built between 1925 and 1940. They are mostly vernacular commercial buildings, one or two stories in height, with flat roofs obscured by a parapet on the main facade. Also included in the district are the Methodist Episcopal church, the old fire station, and the old city hall and jail.[2] The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
