World's Smallest City Block

A tiny, triangular patch of land in downtown Dothan, recognized by Ripley's Believe It or Not! as the smallest of its kind.

A History of Mystery

Once housed a 1920s snack shop and a two-story building with a gas station by 1931.

The reason for the building's demolition and the timeline for how it became this tiny triangle remain a local mystery, adding to its quirky charm.
