The historic properties within the Luverne Historic District represent seventy years of history from the 1880s to the late 1940s. The district includes the first commercial businesses in downtown and middle- to upper-middle-class homes. These resources reflect Luverne’s development as a railway hub in the southern sector of the state, its residential growth, and the effects of the Great Depression on small towns in Alabama. The district also shows the relationship between society and commerce, with houses in close proximity to Luverne’s commercial and historically industrial areas.
