Acmar is a former unincorporated community and neighborhood within the city of Moody in St. Clair County, in the U.S. state of Alabama.
Henry F. DeBardeleben, founder of the Alabama Fuel & Iron Company (AFICO), opened two coal mines at Acmar.[1] The mines were serviced by the Central of Georgia Railway, with coal production peaking in 1926.[1] In October 1935, one miner was killed and six were injured when strikers belonging to the United Mine Workers of America attempted to drive into the mines.[2] The mines at Acmar closed in 1951. The community was later annexed into the city of Moody.
A post office was established at Acmar in 1911, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1987.[3] Acmar is a conjoin of the names Acton and Margaret[4] AFICO also operated mines at both of these locations.
The Cahaba River originates near Acmar.[5]
Acmar village has never reported a population figure separately on the U.S. Census as an unincorporated community. However, the 26th precinct within St. Clair County bore its name from 1930 to 1950.[6] In the 1930 and 1940[7] returns, when the census recorded racial statistics for the precincts, both times reported a White majority for the precinct. In 1960, the precincts were merged and/or reorganized into census divisions (as part of a general reorganization of counties) and it was consolidated into the census division of Moody.[8] The village itself was later annexed into the city of Moody.
