Moorhead (/ˈmɔːrhɛd/ MOR-hed)[7] is a city in and the county seat of Clay County, Minnesota, United States,[8] on the banks of the Red River of the North. Located in the Red River Valley, an extremely fertile and active agricultural region, Moorhead is also home to several corporations and manufacturing industries.[9] Across the river from Fargo, North Dakota, Moorhead forms part of the core of the Fargo–Moorhead ND-MN Metropolitan Area. The population was 44,505 at the 2020 census.[4] Moorhead is notably a hub of higher education in Minnesota, home to Minnesota State University Moorhead, Concordia College, and a campus of Minnesota State Community and Technical College.

Platted in 1871, the city was named for William Galloway Moorhead, an official of the Northern Pacific Railway.[10]

History

[edit]
Moorhead Readiness Center in North Moorhead.

The city was platted in 1871 and named for William Galloway Moorhead, a Northern Pacific Railway official and brother-in-law of financier Jay Cooke.[10][11]

Federal Building - U.S. Post Office in Moorhead.

The former Moorhead Armory on 5th Street South was the site of the intended concert destination for musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper before their fatal plane crash a few miles north of Clear Lake, Iowa around 1:00 am Tuesday February 3, 1959. The building was demolished in 1990 and is now the site of Ecumen Evergreens, a senior living property.

Moorhead is home to the first Dairy Queen to sell Dilly Bars.[12][13] The Moorhead Dairy Queen is also one of only a few Dairy Queens operating on a contract signed in 1949,[14] which allows it to feature products not approved by corporate headquarters. An example includes a chipper sandwich, vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies and dipped in chocolate.

Law Enforcement Center on 11th Street North.

Geography

[edit]

Moorhead is located adjacent to the Red River in the Red River Valley. The land around the Fargo–Moorhead area is some of the flattest and richest (for agricultural uses) in the world. This is because it lies on the lake bed of glacial Lake Agassiz, which drained between 9,900 and 11,000 years ago.[15]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 22.290 square miles (57.73 km2), of which 22.283 square miles (57.71 km2) is land and 0.007 square miles (0.02 km2) is water.[1]

Climate

[edit]

Partly due to its location in the Great Plains, Moorhead has a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification: Dfb), with warm, humid summers and cold winters with around 53 inches of snow yearly.
