Welcome to the Newto News for December of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Fargo, North Dakota was founded in 1871 as a small trading post along the Red River. Named after William Fargo, a co-founder of Wells Fargo, the city quickly grew into a bustling hub for the region’s agricultural and transportation industries. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Fargo experienced rapid development with the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railway and the establishment of several banks and businesses. The city became known for its strong economy and vibrant downtown area. Throughout the 20th century, Fargo faced challenges such as devastating floods and economic downturns, but resilient residents worked together to rebuild and revitalize the city.
