Acmar is an unincorporated community in St. Clair County, in the U.S. state of Alabama.

History

Henry F. DeBardeleben, founder of the Alabama Fuel & Iron Company (AFICO), opened two coal mines at Acmar.[2] The mines were serviced by the Central of Georgia Railway, with coal production peaking in 1926.[2] 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.[3] The mines at Acmar closed in 1951.

A post office was established at Acmar in 1911, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1987.[4] Acmar is a conjoin of the names Acton and Margaret[5] AFICO also operated mines at both of these locations.[2]

The Cahaba River originates near Acmar.[6]
