Victoria District was designated a national historic site in 2001. As stated in the minutes of the National Historic Sites and Monuments Board, the site was designated because:
“its cultural landscape, through highly visible and intact physical attributes, represents an exceptional illustration in one concentrated area of major themes in Prairie settlement including the development of the fur trade, the establishment of the Metis river lot system, the arrival of missions, Prairie agricultural development and the establishment of eastern European immigrants at the beginning of the 20th Century.’
