Demopolis had its beginnings in 1817 with the Vine and Olive Colony.[2] The historic district is a ten block area, roughly bounded by Capitol Street, Franklin Street, Desnouettes Street, and Cedar Avenue.[1]

The district boundaries were increased, and name was changed to the actual one in October 2014.[3]
