Sioux Falls has long been a center of trade, industry, culture, and government for the entire state of South Dakota. The city has grown much in its more than 150 years of existence, and Sioux Falls has done an excellent job of preserving its history. There are four distinct historic districts in Sioux Falls, each showcasing a different part of the city's development. Our real estate agents have all the details on what to expect when you explore the historic districts of Sioux Falls.

• Cathedral Historic District
  The Cathedral Historic District was one of the first places settled in Sioux Falls, with major growth during the population boom of the 1870s.
