The Crookston Commercial Historic District reflects the city's early period of growth, which was prompted by agriculture and the railroad industry. The district remains a large, and mostly intact, concentration of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century commercial structures.
Palace Hotel was the largest building in the Historic District but after the upper floors collapsed into the basement, it was demolished in 2011.
