History

Minot is a city steeped in history that reflects its transformation from a small railroad settlement into a vibrant regional hub. Often referred to as the "Magic City," Minot owes its nickname to the rapid growth it experienced during its early years. The city was established in 1886 during the construction of the Great Northern Railway, a major rail line that connected the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest. This railway not only brought settlers to the area but also spurred economic development, laying the foundation for Minot’s future prosperity.
