Abbeville Historic District is a historic district in Abbeville, South Carolina. It includes several properties listed separately in the National Register of Historic Places, including the Abbeville County Courthouse and the Abbeville Opera House. The district was listed in National Register on September 14, 1972.[2]
Originally, it was roughly bounded by Seaboard Coastline RR, SR 72, Rickey, Haight, Hemphill and Haigler Sts.[1] A 1972 decrease of area, roughly E of Magazine St., S of Whitehall St., NW along Long Branch St., W of Lemon St., N along Washington St., decreased the size of the district.[1] According to the National Register Information System (NRIS), this decrease was approved simultaneously as the original district designation. A 1984 increase, of area roughly W along N. Main St. from Haigler to Livingston Sts., N along Greenville St., and NE on Marshall Ct., added to the district.[1]

The original nomination form included sixteen sites that contributed to the historical significance of the district.[3] These buildings included a mix of residential (ten) and commercial (five) structures, and greenspace (one):
The boundary increase that occurred on May 7, 1984 added numerous properties to the district. The district now contains thirty-seven properties of significance, two hundred and eighty-two supporting properties, and two hundred and nine non-contributing properties for a total of five hundred and twenty-eight sites.[4] Most of the structures are still standing, although the addresses used in the nomination form may have changed.
