New Market Historic District, Historic district in Madison County, United States.

New Market Historic District is a collection of buildings in Madison County, Alabama, dating from the 1800s that show the architectural styles of that era. The homes, stores, and public buildings have been largely preserved and give a picture of how a small American town looked in the 19th century.

New Market was founded in the 1820s as a trade center on the road between Huntsville and Winchester, Tennessee, and had about 500 residents by the 1850s. Much of the town was destroyed in the Civil War, then rebuilt; a dam across Mountain Fork Creek powered mills and was rebuilt in 1913. The district was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1991 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

The homes and shops in the district reflect daily life in a small Alabama town, showing where families lived and where business took place. Walking through reveals the rhythm of how people worked and gathered in this community.

The district can be explored on foot, with buildings located along the main street and surrounding areas. Local information and guides help visitors understand the architecture and history of the individual homes and shops more clearly.

The district shows different building styles from different decades of the 1800s, reflecting the economic changes and population shifts during that time. These layers of development are visible in the varying construction methods and materials used in the buildings.
