- The Opelousas Historic District, in Opelousas in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The district's "anchor is the courthouse square with its huge live oak trees and 1939 Art Deco courthouse. On the northwest corner is the neo-classical ." It includes the courthouse square, the row of buildings facing the square on its east side (on S. Court Street), the row of buildings facing on its south side (on W. Landry St., which is also the one-way west-bound Ronald Reagan Highway / United States Route 190) and one more row of buildings going east on the south side of E. Landry St. not facing the square. This area includes 18 contributing buildings and only three buildings regarded as intrusions, which are deemed non-contributing. But the defined district then "is only a small portion of what is regarded as historic downtown Opelousas. The other two sides of the courthouse square have too many intrusions and/or badly altered historic buildings, as does the remainder of the central business district." Google Streetview imagery captured March 2022 shows that building number 9 on E. Landry St. in the documents, perhaps 129 E. Landry, showing in accompanying photo 3, is gone, replaced now by garden landscaping behind an iron fence, with parking beyond. Murals now on building sides facing this lot.

Opelousas Downtown National Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, has boundaries which encompass the courthouse square, buildings on two sides of the square, and an adjacent row of party wall buildings immediately to the east, in Opelousas, Louisiana.

The eighteen contributing historic buildings range in date from c. 1840 to 1939. Located in the heart of the community, the National Historic District is only a small portion of what is regarded as the historic downtown and is distinguished by the range of styles represented and the landmark quality of the building. Styles range from Greek Revival, Romanesque Revival, Italianate, neo-classical, and Art Deco. (en)
