Cass County, Administrative division in eastern North Dakota, US
Description
Cass County is an administrative division in eastern North Dakota that combines farmland, rural townships, and the urban core of Fargo as its county seat. The landscape transitions between flat river valleys and gently rolling terrain used primarily for grain and soybean production.
History
The region was established as a county in 1873 during the Dakota Territory period and named after a railway executive of the Northern Pacific Railway. This naming reflected the era when transportation infrastructure drove settlement and economic growth across the plains.
Culture
The county's population of 184,525 residents participates in regular agricultural festivals, seasonal markets, and community gatherings throughout its municipalities.
Practical
The region is well connected by interstate highways, particularly through Fargo, which serves as a major junction linking to Minneapolis, Winnipeg, and surrounding areas. Getting around requires a vehicle, as public transportation is limited outside the urban core.
