Credit, Arkansas

Credit is an extinct town in Craighead County, Arkansas, United States.[1]

Credit got its start in the 1890s when the railroad was extended to that point.[2] The community's name may a play on words with nearby Cash, Arkansas.[2] A post office called Credit was established in 1896, and remained in operation until 1902.[3]
