The Crookston Business District has been designated in the National Register of Historic Places.

Buildings not listed on the National Register of Historic Places or not included in the Historic District that still have historical importance to Crookston have been included without a photo.

Susan Roth, research historian with the state Historic Preservation Office, said that a 1981 study showed the area to be "by far the most architecturally intact and probably the best concentration of the late 19th and early 20th century commercial buildings left in the Red River Valley region."

-Minneapolis Star Tribune, January 3, 1985
