The courthouse was first built in 1881. It was nearly destroyed in a fire in 1908, but was rebuilt later in 1909.[1][2] The wings were added in 1948 and 1975.[3] The district for the courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[4][5]

In January 2025, the courthouse was closed due to a electrical issue. It was later re-opened.[6]
