Moorhead: Minnesota's Window on the Red River Valley
Moorhead sits on the Minnesota side of the Red River, directly across from Fargo, North Dakota. The two cities share an economy and a metro area of roughly 250,000, but fall under different state laws and tax structures. The Red River of the North flows northward toward Canada and is prone to severe spring flooding, most notably in 1997 and 2009.
Minnesota State University Moorhead and Concordia College both operate in the city. The Hjemkomst Center houses a replica Viking ship that was sailed across the Atlantic to Norway in 1982, a project undertaken by a local teacher. The building also contains the Heritage Hjemkomst Interpretive Center with exhibits on Scandinavian and local history.
Moorhead's economy is tied to agriculture, higher education, and the services shared with the Fargo side of the metro. Sugar beet processing at the American Crystal Sugar facilities is one of the area's major industries. The flat Red River Valley landscape extends in every direction from the city.
The Rourke Art Museum houses one of the best art collections in the upper Great Plains, with works spanning several centuries. The regional medical center shared between Fargo and Moorhead provides healthcare employment for both communities.
