Moorhead, MN

Moorhead is a city in Clay County, Minnesota and is the largest city in northwest Minnesota. The population was approximately 32,000 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Clay County. Together along with West Fargo, North Dakota, the communities comprise the core of the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area, which has an estimated 2006 population of around 200,000 residents.

Moorhead History

Moorhead was settled in the 1870s at a natural crossing of the Red River of the North. For many years, this lively frontier town served as a transfer point for goods and passengers between the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Hudson Bay Company goods were hauled by oxcart from St. Cloud, Minnesota, to Moorhead, then reloaded onto riverboats for the journey north on the Red.
Moorhead was founded on September 22, 1871, and was named for William G. Moorhead, a director of the Northern Pacific Railway. Moorhead was officially incorporated in 1881 and later that same decade added electric, water, sewer, fire and police services.
Today, Moorhead is still considered a transcontinental crossing. Interstates 94 and 29 intersect just west of the city limits. While distribution and transfer industries remain a vital part of their business environment, education and service industries have played an increasingly important role. Concordia College and Minnesota State University Moorhead have helped build our strong reputation for education and culture.
