City History
|
| While the town was
laid out in 1920 with the announcement by J.J. Hill that
he planned to extend his United Railways line to North
Plains. North Plains was advertized as a place with
beautiful scenery, fertile land, and rich farms so the
Railways felt a guarantee of success in anticipation of
thousands of investors flocking to the area. North
Plains was incorporated in 1963 and it has been written
this was only due to the railroads as the farmers were
too busy getting rich to build a town. As it turned out
the town never really boomed as when it incorporated in
1963 there were nearly 500 residents within the
boundaries that were set up 50 years before. |
