The Chelsea Commercial Historic District is a historic district located along both sides of Main Street from Orchard to North Street in Chelsea, Michigan; the district also includes the adjacent 100 blocks of Jackson, East Middle, and West Middle Streets,〔 as well as structures on Park, East, and Orchard Streets. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.〔 ==History==
The land where the village of Chelsea now sits was first settled in the 1830s by brothers Elisha and James Congdon.〔 In 1848, the Congdons offered the Michigan Central Railroad a plot of land along the rail line on which to build a station. The railroad accepted, and the first structure built at the site was a freight station, completed in 1850. The Congdons platted the village of Chelsea in the fall of that year, and the first public buildings - a blacksmith shop and a hotel - were built soon after. A series of freight stations was built on the site, and the resulting freight business through the town spurred the growth of Chelsea in the mid-1800s.〔 Additional schools, churches, and businesses were built in the area around the depot in the 1850s and 1860s.〔 As the village grew, a thriving commercial district sprang up south of the railroad tracks. The early buildings were wooden, but after a series of disastrous fires in the 1870s, the current brick structures were built.〔
