= Grand Forks , North Dakota =
Grand Forks is the third @-@ largest city in the State of North Dakota ( after Fargo and Bismarck ) and the county seat of Grand Forks County . According to the 2010 census , the city 's population was 52 @,@ 838 , while that of the city and surrounding metropolitan area was 98 @,@ 461 . Grand Forks , along with its twin city of East Grand Forks , Minnesota , forms the center of the Grand Forks , ND @-@ MN Metropolitan Statistical Area , which is often called Greater Grand Forks or The Grand Cities .
Located on the western banks of the Red River of the North in a flat region known as the Red River Valley , the city is prone to flooding and was struck by the devastating Red River Flood of 1997 . Originally called Les Grandes Fourches by French fur traders , Grand Forks was founded in 1870 by steamboat captain Alexander Griggs and incorporated on February 22 , 1881 . Its location at the fork of the Red River and the Red Lake River gives the city its name .
Historically dependent on local agriculture , the city 's economy now encompasses higher education , defense , health care , manufacturing , food processing , and scientific research . Grand Forks is served by Grand Forks International Airport and Grand Forks Air Force Base . The city 's University of North Dakota is the oldest institution of higher education in the state . The Alerus Center and Ralph Engelstad Arena host athletic and other events , while the North Dakota Museum of Art and Chester Fritz Auditorium are the city 's largest cultural venues .
= = History = =
Prior to settlement by Europeans or Americans , the area where the city now sits – at the forks of the Red River and Red Lake River – had been an important meeting and trading point for Native Americans . Early French explorers , fur trappers , and traders called the area Les Grandes Fourches meaning " The Grand Forks " . By the 1740s , Les Grandes Fourches was an important trading post for French fur trappers . A U.S. post office was established on the site on June 15 , 1870 , and the name was changed to " Grand Forks " . Alexander Griggs , a steamboat captain , is regarded as " The Father of Grand Forks " . Griggs ' steamboat froze in the Red River on a voyage in late 1870 , forcing the captain and his crew to spend the winter camping at Grand Forks . Griggs platted the community in 1875 and Grand Forks was officially incorporated on February 22 , 1881 . The city quickly grew after the arrival of the Great Northern Railway in 1880 and the Northern Pacific Railway in 1887 . In 1883 , the University of North Dakota was established , six years before North Dakota was formally recognized as an independent state born from the Dakota Territory . The first half of the 20th century saw steady growth and the development of new neighborhoods farther south and west of Downtown Grand Forks . The 1920s saw the construction of the state @-@ owned North Dakota Mill and Elevator on the north side of the city . In 1954 , Grand Forks was chosen as the site for an Air Force base . Grand Forks Air Force Base brought thousands of new jobs and residents to the community . The military base and the University of North Dakota would become integral pieces of the city 's economy . The second half of the 20th century saw Grand Forks spreading further away from the older part of town . Interstate 29 was built on the western side of the city and two enclosed shopping malls – South Forks Plaza and Columbia Mall – were built on the south side .
The city was struck by a severe flood in 1997 , causing extensive damage . With Fargo upstream from the bulk of the waters and Winnipeg with its flood control structures , Grand Forks became the hardest hit city in the Red River Valley . During the height of the flooding , a major fire also destroyed eleven buildings in the downtown area . Many neighborhoods had to be demolished to make way for a new levee system , which was ultimately completed ten years later . The land bordering the Red River was turned into a massive park known as the Greater Grand Forks Greenway . Since the flood , Grand Forks has seen both public and private developments throughout town . Two new , large sports venues opened in 2001 , including the Alerus Center and the Ralph Engelstad Arena . In 2007 , the Winnipeg @-@ based Canad Inns hotel chain opened a 13 @-@ story hotel and waterpark adjacent to the Alerus Center . By 2007 Grand Forks had a larger population than it did before the 1997 flood , and area employment and taxable sales had also surpassed pre @-@ flood levels .
= = Geography = =
Grand Forks is located 74 miles ( 119 km ) north of the Fargo @-@ Moorhead area and 145 miles ( 233 km ) south of Winnipeg , Manitoba . Grand Forks is situated on the western bank of the Red River of the North in an area known as the Red River Valley . The term " forks " refers to the forking of the Red River with the Red Lake River located near downtown Grand Forks . According to the United States Census Bureau , the city has a total area of 20 @.@ 09 square miles ( 52 @.@ 03 km2 ) , of which , 19 @.@ 91 square miles ( 51 @.@ 57 km2 ) is land and 0 @.@ 18 square miles ( 0 @.@ 47 km2 ) is water . Since it is in one of the flattest parts of the world , the city has few differences in elevation . There are no lakes in the city limits of Grand Forks , but the meandering Red River and the English Coulee flow through the community and provide some break in the terrain . The Red River Valley is the result of an ancient glacier carving its way south during the last Ice Age . Once the glacier receded , it formed a glacial lake called Lake Agassiz . The ancient beaches can still be seen as rolling hills west of the city .
= = = Cityscape = = =
Grand Forks has several distinct neighborhoods . The area adjacent to the Red River developed first so this is where some of the oldest neighborhoods , including the downtown area , can be found . The area between downtown and the University of North Dakota campus was another early growth area and historic properties can be found here as well .
Downtown Grand Forks is the oldest part of the city and thus contains many historic buildings . It is the governmental center of the city and county . It is used as a gathering place for large events and festivals . Also , a farmer 's market is held every Saturday ( 9AM to 2PM ) from mid @-@ June to mid @-@ September in the Town Square on the corner of 3rd Street S. and <unk> Avenue .
Recently , city leaders and developers have announced plans to convert older buildings into high @-@ end condos and apartments , and to construct new buildings for the same purpose . Located directly south of downtown , the streets of the Near Southside Historic District are lined with classic houses . Reeves Drive was once one of the most fashionable neighborhoods in the city and , to this day , it is still the home of many old mansions exhibiting several unique architectural styles . Also in this neighborhood are areas of original <unk> paving , several historic churches , and the Lincoln Drive Park . The Near Southside neighborhood was granted the historic district designation by the National Register of Historic Places .
In general , the newer neighborhoods of Grand Forks are in the southern and western parts of town . The 32nd Avenue South corridor has been the commercial center of the city since the Columbia Mall opened in 1978 . Many big box stores and restaurants are now located along the avenue . A large strip mall , called the Grand Forks Marketplace , opened in 2001 near the Columbia Mall . University Village is a new commercial district that was built on vacant lands owned by the University of North Dakota . The centerpiece of the Village is the Ralph Engelstad Arena , which is used by the University 's North Dakota men 's ice hockey team . All the buildings in the Village have been built in a similar style to buildings on the nearby UND campus . The area now includes restaurants and stores , as well as the University bookstore . In 2006 , a new Wellness Center for UND students opened on the Village 's west side .
= = = Climate = = =
Due to its location in the Great Plains and its distance from both mountains and oceans , the city has a humid continental climate ( Köppen ( Dfb ) ) , USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4a . This type of climate is distinguished by four very distinct seasons and great variation in temperatures over very short periods of time . As there are no nearby mountain ranges or bodies of water to ameliorate the climatic conditions , Grand Forks lies exposed to numerous weather systems including bitterly cold Arctic high pressure systems . The city experiences long , cold , and snowy winters . In sharp contrast , summers are often warm to hot and often quite humid with frequent thunderstorms . Although warm weather normally ends soon after Labor Day , a few warm days can , on rare occasions , be seen as late as October . Spring and autumn are short and highly variable seasons . Record temperature extremes range from − 43 ° F ( − 42 ° C ) on January 11 , 1912 to 109 ° F ( 43 ° C ) on July 12 , 1936 . The daily mean temperatures of the Grand Forks winters are associated with subarctic climates with frequent subzero temperatures , but due to the extended warm period of daily means above 50 ° F ( 10 ° C ) from May to September it stays within the humid continental temperature range .
