The Foster Park Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Le Mars, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1] At the time of its nomination the district consisted of 237 resources, including 166 contributing buildings, one contributing site, 65 non-contributing buildings, one non-contributing structure, and four non-contributing objects.[2] The district comprises ten full blocks and nine half blocks. The historic buildings are houses and their attendant garages, carriage houses, or barns. The houses are between one and 2½-stories and are composed of frame, brick or stucco construction. For the most part they were built between the 1880s and the 1930s.
