Minot and the Air Force Base That Shapes the Region
Minot, population around 47,000, grew up around the Great Northern Railway in 1886 and earned the nickname "Magic City" because of the speed at which it developed. The city sits in the Souris River valley in north-central North Dakota, about 50 miles south of the Canadian border. The Souris loops through town before flowing north into Manitoba; a 2011 flood caused roughly $690 million in damage and displaced thousands of residents.
Minot Air Force Base, located about 13 miles north of the city, is one of only two bases in the Air Force that host both intercontinental ballistic missiles and strategic bombers. The 91st Missile Wing oversees a field of Minuteman III missiles spread across thousands of square miles of western North Dakota, and the 5th Bomb Wing operates B-52H Stratofortresses. The base employs roughly 5,500 military and civilian personnel, making it the largest single employer in the region. The Bakken oil boom of the 2010s brought additional population and pressure to Minot, whose location on the oil field's eastern edge gave it an outsized role in logistics, housing, and services.
