The South Side German Historic District is a neighborhood within Quincy, Illinois just south of downtown. The neighborhood includes most of Quincy's rich German architecture. The region is also widely known as "Calftown", named for the number of calves once owned by its inhabitants. It was added into the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1992 with a boundary increase in 1995.
