The Chelsea Parade Historic District encompasses a predominantly residential area north of downtown Norwich.

It includes 565 contributing buildings, two other contributing sites, and six contributing objects over an area of 205 acres (83 ha). The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
