Welcome to the Newto News for March 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 by Northern Pacific Railway president, William Fargo. Originally a stop on the Red River Ox-Cart Trail, the city quickly grew into a bustling hub for settlers and travelers heading westward. Fargo’s strategic location along the Red River made it an ideal spot for trade and commerce. In the late 19th century, Fargo experienced rapid growth as immigrants flocked to the city seeking opportunities in agriculture and industry. The discovery of rich farmland in the surrounding area further fueled Fargo’s expansion, leading to the establishment of thriving businesses and institutions. Over the years, Fargo has weathered its fair share of challenges, from devastating fires to economic downturns. However, the city has always managed to bounce back, thanks to its resilient spirit and strong sense of community. Today, Fargo is a vibrant metropolis known for its diverse culture, thriving arts scene, and robust economy.
