North Dakota's Western Slope Becomes Prosperous Farm Belt
Charles B. Cheney notes western North Dakota has transformed from cattle land to a thriving farming region. Railroads drew homesteaders to Ward, McHenry, Williams and neighboring counties, raising land values to about 30 dollars an acre. Minot and Fargo grow as regional hubs with coal prospects and strong immigrant communities, especially Norwegian and German, shaping a rising agricultural empire.
