Downtown Fargo really surprised us in how cool it is. There are so many great restaurants, brewpubs, bars, and hotels downtown. I expected the neighborhood north of downtown to be a bit more posh but it was so relaxing and quiet that I really enjoyed it, even on a rainy day. I hope you enjoy this walk around the north half of the downtown. -H

Fargo is a city in and the county seat of Cass County, North Dakota, United States. Being the most populous city in the state, it accounts for 16% of the state population. According to the 2020 United States Census estimates, its population was 125,209, making it the 222nd-most populous city in the United States. Fargo, along with its twin city of Moorhead, Minnesota, and the adjacent cities of West Fargo, North Dakota; and Dilworth, Minnesota; form the core of the Fargo-Moorhead, ND-MN Metropolitan Statistical Area. The MSA had a population of 248,591 in 2020.
Fargo was founded in 1871 on the Red River of the North floodplain. It is a cultural, retail, health care, educational, and industrial center for southeastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. North Dakota State University is located in the city.
Historically part of Sioux (Dakota) territory, the area that is present-day Fargo was an early stopping point for steamboats traversing the Red River during the 1870s and 1880s. The city was originally named "Centralia," but was later renamed "Fargo" after Northern Pacific Railway director and Wells Fargo Express Company founder William Fargo (1818-1881). The area started to flourish after the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railroad and the city became known as the "Gateway to the West."
During the 1880s, Fargo became the "divorce capital" of the Midwest because of lenient divorce laws.
A major fire struck the city on June 7, 1893, destroying 31 blocks of downtown Fargo, but the city was immediately rebuilt with new buildings made of brick, new streets, and a water system. More than 246 new buildings were built within one year. There were several rumors concerning the cause of the fire.
The North Dakota Agricultural College was founded in 1890 as North Dakota's land-grant university, becoming first accredited by the North Central Association in 1915. In 1960, NDAC became known as North Dakota State University.
Early in the century, the automobile industry flourished, and in 1905, Fargo became home to the Pence Automobile Company.
On Labor Day in 1910, Theodore Roosevelt visited Fargo to lay the cornerstone of the college's new library. To a crowd of 30,000, Roosevelt spoke about his first visit to Fargo 27 years earlier, and credited his experience homesteading in North Dakota for his eventual rise to the presidency.
Fargo-Moorhead boomed after World War II, and the city grew rapidly despite a violent F5 tornado in 1957 that destroyed a large part of the north end of the city. Ted Fujita, famous for his Fujita tornado scale, analyzed pictures of the Fargo tornado, helping him develop his ideas for "wall cloud" and "tail cloud." These were the first major scientific descriptive terms associated with tornadoes. The construction of two interstates (I-29 and I-94) revolutionized travel in the region and pushed growth of Fargo to the south and west of the city limits. In 1972, the West Acres Shopping Center, the largest shopping mall in North Dakota, was constructed near the intersection of the two Interstates. This mall became a catalyst for retail growth in the area.

I've lived in the south 33 out of my 37 years, have now live in Fargo for almost 4 years in February. I absolutely love it here, it was definitely a culture shock and weather shock but I would love to live here for the rest of my life
I grew up in coastal NC. I can imagine the culture shock but I'm glad you are loving it up there. Great town. Thanks for watching -H
Beautiful place. i enjoyed it Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. -H
Loving this! My bf and I are looking to leave Oklahoma. We want a state with similar values, and the possibility to own a home, but a much colder place. He’s from WI. ND sure looks like a great option. Some commenters on TH-cam say places like Grand Forks Bismarck and Fargo aren’t safe anymore, but this looks so nice and pretty! I’m from Los Angeles so maybe its all perspective lol. Any possible tips on a good starter city is very appreciated!
Hi Jenny, Fargo would be a good option, as would Couer d'Alene, ID or perhaps Sheridan, WY or Rapid City, SD and Sioux Falls, SD. -H
You missed the house I grew up in by about a block! 12 ave/Broadway. The was a Jack 'n Jill little corner store that was just north of that the hospital, which is now parking lot. Lots of candy purchased there. Watched the quarter rich people play pac/man in the back. Perry house was on the corner where you went left on from Broadway. Beautiful home. They had a pool that they let us use in the summer time w/ their family. Good peeps! Fond memories. Walked through that downtown in the 70s/80s so many times heading to the local public pool, Island Park. Hardee's was south of St. Mary's, popular hang for us back in the day. Went to St. Mary's, then Horace Mann....good times! Enjoyed the walk! Thank you!
Wonderful and thanks so much for sharing those amazing memories. Sounds like you grew up just a little bit before I did. Though, I grew up in North Carolina. Still I do remember Pac-Man and arcades and friendly neighbors. All the best and thanks again. - H.
@@CityWalks Yeah, fond memories for sure! Simpler times and a real great place to grow up!
Hi, Henry ! (Like 100). Enjoying this walk, 🚶♂️ just realised I hadn’t said “Hi” for a while 😊. Fargo, North Dakota looks good in this ‘Scottish style weather’ ⛅️, and with all its amazing mature trees 🏡 🌳 👍 . Hope things are well with you all 👋. Yes please, do a ‘City Walks’ baseball hat 🧢 , (with a flat level skip please 😊 ), I will order four of them !! See you about, Cheers, Don 🙋♂️
Oh wow. OK, I’ll see what I can do. Yes definitely was some Scottish weather. We’re getting more of that up here in Alaska right now. Thanks so much. - H
Great choice! I enjoyed my visit to Fargo when I was there in 2018
It's a very cool downtown. Thanks for watching -H
Fargo looked rather run down when we passed through, in a snowstorm, 15 years ago. Glad to see the downtown looks much better now.
Yes, I get the impression that they have really improved in the last decade or so. Thanks so much for watching and commenting and your wonderful support. - H
Great video! I wanted to see North Dakota, it was on Irish TV earlier that its the only u.s state without an Irish person living there
Hi Anthony, that's pretty funny. Not a lot of people there to begin with. This side of the state is much different than the western half which has more cowboys. Take care and thanks for the comment. -H
Really nice. I use the insta360 one x2 camera. Looking forward to more of your videos
I use one too but haven't been filming with it much lately. Thanks. -H
I enjoy these city walks...
But I also do not care for any politics .. I can watch the news for that.
Thanks
Thank you for your input. - H
Teddy Roosevelt is one of my favorite U.S. presidents too. I rank him next to Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.
I agree. Pretty amazing and complex person. - H
Spent the month of July in Fargo …. I loved it!! Don’t know if I’d love it in January but I’m gonna try some day . Can’t wait to go back
Kind of feel the same way. Thanks for watching. We loved the downtown area. -H
City Walks where does the woman that I am about to marry Live?
Hi Alexander, Zagreb perhaps or maybe Kotor.?😁👋 -H
City Walks what is the woman's that will marry me First name and Last Name?
@Alexander Glazman Let me check my crystal ball and I'll get back to you... -H😀
Great walk once again. Really love seeing the 50s/60s signage on the theatres in the towns you go to.
I've been noticing those types of signs more and more. They've obviously been there forever but I've just started noticing them and I really like them too. -H
Thanks for the stroll, Henry. I appreciate your occasional "perambulation pontifications!" Thanks for wanting to promote a better world and doing so in a subtle way.
You are very welcome and I’m glad they aren’t too much. Definitely want to to promote more kindness and goodness in the world rather than the opposite. Keep on steppin’ - H.
My grandfather had a dinner in the Aggie Block building. That would of been about 1935/1940 or so. I see it is across from the ford building. That probably made it a good place or a dinner.
Wow, very cool connection to the place. The older I get, the more amazed I am at all that has changed in relatively few generations. Thanks for sharing. -H
All I know of Fargo is the Coen brother's movie. It's actually very cute. Thanks for a great walk.
Yeah, I think most of that actually took place over in Minnesota. It is a very cute town nowadays. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. - H
Looks beautiful! reminds me of downtown Colorado Springs. I hope I get to visit someday!
Hi Carrie, yeah, I can see that. Much smaller though but with so much going for it. Thanks for commenting. I love hearing from viewers. -H
I'm going to north dakota state university as an international student. Is job opportunity good in fargo city? How much can i make per month in fargo and also tell me is this city safe?
Hi there, the city is safe but jobs will depend on your visa type. - H.
I grew up in Fargo 1950-1970 Wow has it changed only 47000 people back then.
Hi Richard, I an only imagine. -H
Hello Sir. Can you show also in your video regarding Essentia Health hospital?
This was a few years ago but if I go back I’ll see what I can do. -H
BTW, the Red river flows into Lake Winnipeg, not Lake Ontario.
Hey JP. Thanks for the correction. All the best. -H
This is a walking tour but you seem to be pretty much the only person walking. Where are all the people? Do they ever leave their cars and take a stroll in the streets?
It’s fairly rare in America. Most people drive everywhere and only walk from their cars to their destination. Our cities are built with that in mind, unfortunately. There is a movement growing slowly to make our cities more pedestrian in bicycle friendly. We have a long way to go. - H
I grew up here as a teenager. Saw RUSH 2112 in 1976 with buddy of mine. Kevin P. What a concert! First job at the Old Broadway... joined the Army and now living in Maryland. Good times in Fargo and only 1 hour from lake country Minnesota. Fishing, Fun and Girls... What memories I have of what I still call home.
That's awesome to hear. Must have been a cool place to live back then. Thanks for watching. -H
@@CityWalks
Thank you for the walk back in time!
🎉🎉❤❤❤ nice State among the states USA is the best in every states! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Many thanks -H
12th ave and Browdway used to be a 9 hole golf course where I first started to play as a kid
Wonderful to hear. -H
Thanks for speaking Englisch!! Really!
.
nice place, I like it! Greetings from Italy
Bienvenuto. So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment. - H
Big white house on right was ware a good friend lived.

No one complaining bout their right not to be recorded
.
Are people friendly in North dakota?
Hi Fardin, yes, I thought so. -H
Thanx alot, very intresting
You are very welcome. -H
Broadway is the main road that you're walking, 2nd Ave was closed. Fargo itself is ~130K population, 252k metro.
Thanks for those details. Much appreciated. -H
I grew up in Fargo many many years ago. You walked a block from the house I grew up in on 9th Ave! I went to St. Mary’s school which is no more but the Cathedral is still there. It was built by Bishop Shanley. He was the first Bishop in Fargo and was raising funds to build the cathedral when the great Fargo fire burned down the town. Shanley donated the funds he had raised to help rebuild the city. I attended Shanley high school which is also gone now. Fargo has really changed a lot since I was a kid.
Hi JP, thanks so much for sharing that local knowledge. Sorry I didn't take you buy your old house. Such a great town. -H
Thank you! I grew up there as did my parents and grandparents so lots of memories while you were walking around! I miss it and appreciate you walking around in September, not January -well, if you had you probably would have died from that long of a walk outside 🤣
Hah. Glad it brought back memories. We're from Montana so used to bitterly cold January walks but thanks for the concern. Haha. We were really impressed with downtown Fargo and would love a chance to go back sometime. Cheers. -H
The fancy homes are on 8th Street South in Fargo as that was built up first I believe more than the north side. Plus you were getting closer to the NDSU area so not as ideal of a neighborhood (but not bad by other towns' standards for sure).
Thanks! -H
Thank you so much for this video. 👍 I am moving to Fargo from New Hampshire in August. Very excited! Absolutely loved this video. 👍💛😊
Glad it was helpful, Marie, and I hope your moves goes well. It's a great little city. -H
FYI..,Roger Maris played alongside Mickey Mantle on the Yankees, a formidable pair of sluggers. Family moved to Fargo when he was 10 and there is a museum there
He died of cancer at 51 and is buried there as well.
Thanks Steve. I thought he was a baseball player. I appreciate the research. 👍 -H
I was curious about Fargo because I know so many people there are of Scandinavian descent. The city looks very nice 😊Thank you for this tour. By the way, agree so one hundred percent with you about dogs and leashes 👍
You're welcome 😊 We really enjoyed the city so much. -H
Great walking tour my friend!! Thank you
You are so welcome, as always. Thanks so much for the comments and support. - H
The neighborhoods directly north of downtown are rundown but if you were to walk south of downtown you would experience the exact opposite, particularly 8th St. from south of Main Ave to 13th Ave S.
We did drive down there after this walk and it's exactly as you said. Beautiful part of town. -H
hi, my name is suely.
I'm thinking of going to fargo this month. Do you have any suggestion of something cool to do there?
Hi Suely, yes, check out the Hjemkomst center and the air museum and just hang out around downtown. Have a great trip. -H
Nice job. The neighborhood north and east of downtown is called Oak Grove, and like Fargoan in Phoenix said, it’s a bit run down, especially since all the trees were cut down on Broadway. And like he said, the really nice part of the older part of town is south of downtown- Island Park. You walked right past my old apartment on Broadway and the RR tacks. Nice to see it again! Thanks! I subscribed!
Thanks so much for the sub but also for the additional info! Much appreciated. We really liked Fargo. -H
WOW very nice good awesome fantastic video.thanks for the wonderful video.really enjoyed it so much and the weather is very nice,cool and very pleasant...
Many thanks -H
Don't listen to those other people, it's more fun to watch you discover stuff along with us.
Thanks so much Gawni. -H
Where are the people?
Rainy day kept them at home I think.
So much history missed in your walk…should have taken a local..
Yeah, I’d love to get a tour by a local. Lots more to learn for sure. Thanks for watching. -H
I love the concept of your channel. Great voice, perfect narration. Please point the camera a little more on the signage of places you’re mentioning so they can be noted for people who may want to visit. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Will do! And thanks for watching. Hope you have a great trip to Fargo. -H
I live in fargo ,it's a great city ! Not too big not too small ,just right 😀and the nightlife is busy alright ,I believe we have more bars per capita than any other city
Thanks for the comment. We were really impressed with the downtown area. Thanks again. - H
I was born & raised in fargo all my life & never realized a lot the city has to offer until I watch these videos . I need to go out more 😅😭
It's a great town, but I can empathize with the backyard syndrome. We live near yellowstone and there are folks who've never been there. -H
I like this channel. I subscribed. Beautiful North Dakota.
Awesome! Thank you! -H
Beautiful walking tour my friend! Thanks for sharing❤️👍
Thanks so much. I appreciate your support. - H
Fargo was the first US city to use approval voting.
Oh, that's interesting. Thanks. -H
I been thinking H have you ever been to the Grand Canyon I dont remember it in any of you videos just a thought
I have not and I really want to go. I've been nearby and it's pretty amazing but not to the canyon. -H
Wonderful walking tour in Fargo ND. I enjoyed it👍
Thank you so much 🙂. Glad you enjoyed the walk. -H
The houses look run down because they rent them to college students during the year.
That makes a lot of sense. Similar and other college towns that I’ve considered. Thanks for the explanation and for watching. - H
Yes, Roger Maris was a home town boy who made good - pro baseball player, in 1961 - the year I graduated from high school in a nearby town - he set a new world record for single season home runs. I think it was 61. Fargo is still very proud of him. This walking tour was fun - haven’t been back to ND since 1990 or so, no family left there now. But it was fun to see how Fargo has changed. Needless to say, I wouldn’t have recognized it. I appreciate your attitude, finding odd things “cool” or interesting, rather than to be critical. Makes it fun to listen to you!
Thanks for the info and so glad you enjoyed the video. I love when people share a bit about their personal stories. Cheers and thanks again. -H
Micky Mantle and Roger Maris are very well remembered stars of the New York Yankees from the 1950s and 60s. Maris broke Babe Ruth's record for homeruns in a season. He hit 61...to beat Ruth's record of 60. Mantle hit 59 or so, that same year.
They should get rid of that unsightly street parking. There are plenty of private parking lots for cars.
Parking is a perennial issue everywhere. I'd love to see more bike and pedestrian friendly city design everywhere. Thanks for watching -H
@@CityWalks Yes the @notjustbikes channel is good on this.
Thank you for touring us in Fargo..love it to see the place.
Glad you enjoyed it -H
I would love to see a Fargo winter tour. I have heard that people, at times, have needed to stay locked into their homes to prevent accidents on the roads...
I think that's true with big storms and severe weather but most people are used to it and get around fine. -H
Walk through the NDSU campus some time.
I’d like to do that. Maybe next time. - H
I was born and raised in Fargo-When I visit parts look a little worn and tattered. For ND standards, it is an old city. Great history and Fargo will always grow and prosper. Great city and it has persevered deadly tornados blizzards and floods. Proud to call Fargo my hometown!
👍 We we were really impressed with it. The downtown was hopping and cool without being too big or too busy. -H
Great vibe downtown and so glad you had fun there!
Wow absolutely a great city, just awesome I loved the weather btw 😍, great walk Henry
Thank you so much. - H
Usa❤💪
👍
Looks like Fargo really has it "all" Thanks for the tour!
It was a really nice surprise for us to see how cool it is. -H
I lived at 8th n 11th. Great to see my house. Lol
Fun. Glad you enjoyed the walk. - H
so many good sites here ! Keep up the great work
Thanks so much. You too. - H
250,000
thanks. -H
Thanks. -H
Way more green looking than I thought
Yes, it’s on the eastern side of the state but had been going through a drought. However, while we were there we got a ton of rain. Beautiful part of the world. - H
Thanks again for your help
Always welcome
Really appreciate these great treadmill walks!
Glad you like them! -H
Thank you for the tours
You bet Sherri, thanks for watching.-H
Dude I love your videos
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. -H
I live in Fargo...
Cool town!! -H
Assalamualaikum i enjoyed the moment
So glad to hear it. Thanks so much for the comment. - H
You're welcome Mr Henry
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it -H
Downtown Fargo/Moorhead is actually the run down side of town... All of the new parts of town (South and West) are newer and nicer. Downtown was built around the railroad and then expanded South and West.
REally? I was really impressed with how nice and vibrant it was, especially with the history. Looked like lots of new construction going on as well. We really enjoyed it. -H
