The North Central Historic District in Alexander City, Alabama, in Tallapoosa County, Alabama, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]

The district included 349 buildings deemed contributing and one contributing site, as well as 67 non-contributing buildings, in a 850 acres (3.4 km2) area roughly spanning between Hall and Summer, Warren and Hillabee, Warren and Ridgeway, MLK and Hillabee streets/avenues.[1]

The area mainly developed from the 1880s to 1954 (50 years before NRHP nomination), with the City Cemetery (founded 1875) and the Bethel Baptist church cemetery (c.1875) preceding.[2]
