In 1991 the Windber Historic District was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. The district includes most of the original Berwind-White planned grid, and encompasses land and buildings in both Cambria and Somerset Counties. Windber was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places for its significance to the "history of industry, community planning and development, social history, ethnic heritage and architecture," as an example of both a typical western Pennsylvania coal mining community and as a unique example of a planned company town.
