Summary
The Wayne Commercial Historic District contains forty-four buildings along Main and 2nd Streets that collectively are significant to the area's commercial, transportation, and community development. The majority of these are one or two-story brick "Main Street" buildings constructed between 1880 and 1960. Depots dating from 1883 and 1912 are relics of the abandoned Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha Railroad line between Sioux City and Norfolk. Wayne's Old City Hall is also included. Grain elevators constructed by the Peavey Elevator Company and the local Farmers Union Cooperative complete the Historic District.
