The Virginia Commercial Historic District is a defined area in downtown Virginia, Minnesota, recognized for its collection of historic commercial buildings constructed between 1900 and 1941. This historic district was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 because of its significance to commerce and its role in the economic development of the Iron Range region. It was nominated for representing an early-20th-century business district and Virginia's development as a mining boomtown and tourism gateway.
