Credit, Arkansas

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

Credit had 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]
