Significance: The Tobacco District, near the center of the city of Danville, Virginia, is composed of handsome, under-utilized tobacco warehouses and declining mill-workers residences. It is adjacent to the central business district of the city, and is representative of the industrial development of the post Civil War South. The geographic point of origin for the city is within the Tobacco District, at the fall line of the Dan River.
