Grand Forks County is located in the northeastern part of North Dakota and holds a significant place in the region's history. The area was first inhabited by Native American tribes such as the Dakota Sioux and Ojibwe before European explorers arrived. In 1801, the French fur trapper Alexander Henry established a trading post at the confluence of the Red and Red Lake Rivers, which would later become the city of Grand Forks. The region was part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition passed through the area in 1805.
The county was officially established on January 4, 1873, and organized on March 2, 1875. Named after the city of Grand Forks, the county developed rapidly along with the arrival of settlers, trade, and the expansion of the railroad system. Agriculture has been a driving force of the area's economy, with fertile lands leading to successful wheat and sugar beet farms.
A fun fact about Grand Forks County is that its major city, Grand Forks, is named after the popular steamboat landing at the junction of the Red River and Red Lake River. The name "Grand Forks" comes from the French word "les Grandes Fourches," which translates to a fork in a river where two branches meet. The city has been nicknamed "The Sunflake City" because of the unique snowflake-shaped pattern on the Iowa Ave Bridge, which resulted from a welding mistake during its construction in the 1960s.
