* ADayInTheLimelight: This district puts a greater emphasis on Ramirez and his antics, with him having some sort of importance in almost every case due to his beliefs that the Historical Center is haunted and full of supernatural creatures. He even gets to be your partner for a portion of the district's finale after Jones falls sicks.

The '''Historical Center''' is the third district investigated in ''VideoGame/CriminalCaseGrimsborough''.
A quiet and relatively peaceful district compared to the dangerous [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughIndustrialAreaDistrict Industrial Area]] or the grandiose [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughFinancialCenterDistrict Financial Center]], the Historical Center boasts old and artistic buildings such as museums, theaters, and antique shops, as well as being adjoined to a forest and a lake. While the Historical Center doesn't have a particular storyline going on for it, almost every case has at least one character mentioning the Dog Pageant Contest that will be taking place in few weeks, which of course ends up acting as the setting for the final case of the district.

!!Tropes:
*ArcVillain: Margaret Littlewood, a GloryHound [[EvilOldFolks old lady]] who has been poisoning dogs so her own can win the Dog Pageant Contest. In the district's finale, she also kills one of the owners and attempts to do the same with Jones.
* BreatherEpisode: Compared to the previous two districts that involved either a violent MobWar or a CorruptCorporateExecutive controlling the entire district, the Historical Center mostly has the player solving ScoobyDooHoax-esque regular murders in the most relaxed part of the city without anyone in particular provoking them, resulting in plenty of HilarityEnsues as everyone in the team tries to either prove or disprove the supposed supernatural occurrences haunting the district. In addition, the ArcVillain is also the less threatening one of the entire season, being just a regular old lady that, while guilty of the nefarious act of poisoning dogs, an owner, and almost killing Jones, at the end of the day doesn't manage to reach the evilness levels that both previous and subsequent antagonists have. Fittingly, the Historical Center also marks the middle point of the game, giving the player some relief from the previous districts while also preparing them for what's about to come in the next ones.
*ChekhovsGun: The Dog Pageant Contest. It's mentioned during almost every case, most of the [[RecurringCharacter Recurring Characters]] you meet tell you they're going to be participating in it, and even Chief King and the mayor tell you it's the most important event in the entire district. Wanna guess where the final case of the Historical Center ends up taking place?
*CloseKnitCommunity: Almost everyone knows each other in this district, which makes sense considering most of its inhabitants are adults and old people without better things to do that hanging out with each other.
*RecurringCharacter: The recurring characters that you encounter multiple times throughout the Historical Center are [[CoolOldLady Margaret Littlewood]], [[CaringGardener Charles Parker]], [[MrsRobinson Gertrude Piccadilly]], [[ForestRanger James Savage]], [[InsufferableGenius Desmond Galloway]], [[ScaryLibrarian Constance Bell]], and to a lesser extent [[MamaBear Molly Robinson.]]
*ScoobyDooHoax: A RunningGag during the district is that at least half of the murders seem to be linked to the supernatural or the occultism at first, only to be revealed at the end of the case that they were executed by regular people trying to pass them as such. These include [[SpookyPainting a supposed ghost who kills anyone who paints their portrait]], a satanic RitualMagic linked to a TomeOfEldritchLore, a lake-inhabiting monster that drowns people, a HauntedHouse angry with its inhabitants, and a MadScientist trying to create a FrankensteinsMonster dog.
