The historical, cultural and aesthetic heritage of the City of Arab, Alabama is among its most valued and important assets. In order to provide for the designation, protection, preservation and rehabilitation of historic properties and historic districts and to participate in federal or state programs to do the same, the Arab Historic Preservation Commission was established in January, 2013.

The “This Place Matters” program was launched to recognize specific historic buildings and places, and to increase public awareness of the importance of preserving Arab’s history.
