A historic district is a group of buildings, properties, or sites that have been designated by the City of Stillwater as historically or architecturally significant. The only historic district in the City of Stillwater is the Downtown Commercial Historic District. This district is both a local district and a National Register district.

In more recent years the Heritage Preservation Commission has sought to create small historic districts in residential neighborhoods. To learn more about historic districts (what they are, the difference between local and national districts, and what are some of the advantages of historic districts), please visit the Historic District FAQ page developed by the Heritage Preservation Commission.
