The Nampa Historic District is a 3-acre (1.2 ha) historic district in Nampa, Idaho that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The listing included 10 contributing buildings.[1]

Its National Register nomination described:

The district is historically significant for its association with Nampa's commercial development during the period 1905 through 1920, a major period of growth during which Nampa's main street, First Street South, gained a full complement of two-story brick business blocks.[2]:3

It includes part or all of the 1200 and 1300 blocks of S. 1st St. in Nampa, and it includes work by architects Tourtellotte & Hummel.[1] Tourtellotte & Hummel designed the one-story Nampa Department Store (1919) in the 1300 block, also the two-story Nampa Department Store at 1307 First Street South (1910).[2]
