In the 1990s, Champaign designated historic developments to be local landmarks. These landmarks are classified in three locally designated categories: Residences, Commercial/Industrial, and Institutional Landmarks. The city also formed two Historic Districts: the "Illinois Central Railroad Historic District" and "Villard Court Historic District." These Historic Districts are a group of buildings, properties, or sites that have been designated as historically or architecturally significant. Landmarks are important to the City of Champaign to preserve and cherish the historic sights.
