Service Description: The National Register of Historic Places is the official Federal list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering and culture. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 authorized the National Register of Historic Places, expanding Federal recognition to historic properties of local and State significance. The National Park Service in the US Department of the Interior administers both programs. The National Historic Preservation Act authorizes State and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs/THPOs) in each Tribe, State and Territory of the United States to nominate properties to the National Register of Historic Places and to carry out other preservation activities. Federal Preservation Officers (FPOs) have been designated in Federal agencies to nominate Federal properties and to fulfill other responsibilities under the Act. Properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places possess historic significance and integrity and take the form of either a building, site, structure, object or district. Properties listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places must receive consideration based on the National Historic Preservation Act prior to any undertaking involving Federal monies. Additionally, properties listed on or eligible for the National Register may receive grants, tax credits and other benefits based on their status under the National Historic Preservation Act.

Description: This feature class describes properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, classified as historic districts, and depicted as polygons. The National Register of Historic Places requires the submission of a single UTM coordinate pair for properties under 10 acres or a series of bounding UTM coordinate pairs for properties over 10 acres. The polygons contained within this dataset represent boundaries created from connecting the bounding UTM coordinates submitted with the nomination. A district possesses a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development. Districts include: college campuses, central business districts, residential areas, commercial areas, large forts, industrial complexes, civic centers, rural villages, canal systems, collections of habitation and limited activity sites, irrigation systems, large farms, ranches, estates, plantations, transportation networks and large landscaped parks. Attribute data in this dataset are intentionally limited to those necessary for spatial data maintenance and feature level metadata necessary to document the lineage of the geography itself. Data from external database systems, such as the National Register Information System, are intended to link with these data to provide basic feature attributes. The means to maintain unique identifiers for each historic site (CR_ID), Survey_ID, as well as unique geometries associated with that feature (Geometry_ID) are through the use of Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) assigned by the database. Information about the genesis of individual polygons is documented by feature level metadata fields in the spatial attribute table.
