ABOUT


Dive into a one‐of‐a‐kind slice of South Arkansas history with the Smackover Historic Commercial District, where the echoes of the 1920s oil boom still ripple down Broadway Street. Lined with early-commercial brick storefronts, vintage signage, and a famed center-of-the-road traffic light, this compact block captures the wild spirit of a town transformed almost overnight by oil discovery. Whether you’re browsing antique shops, snapping photos of the preserved architecture, or soaking in the stories of boom-town days, this historic district offers a timeless journey into the past — right in the heart of Smackover.
