Quick Links Minot, best known as North Dakota's 'Magic City,' sprang up overnight in 1986 when the Great Northern Railway laid down tracks in winter. The tent town multiplied rapidly, or magically some might say, into a lively population of 5,000 in only five months. Located south of the Souris River in the Souris Valley, the city continued to grow with the addition of Minot State University in the early 1900s and the Minot Air Force Base in the 1950s. Today, North Dakota's 'Magic City' offers the charm and beauty of North Dakota's small towns and the culture and entertainment of a big city.
