The Samaria Historic District is a 153 acres (62 ha) historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It included 36 contributing buildings.
The district is roughly bounded by Main and 3rd Sts., 1st Ave., N. and S end of 2nd St., in Samaria.[3]
It was a Mormon town. Numerous buildings were vacant in 1974 when the NRHP application was prepared. Some former buildings in the district were demolished after the 1975 earthquake.[3]
