DescriptionAll-America City Winner 2000.
All-America City Finalist 1976-77, 1978-79, 1998 and 1999.

Moorhead was founded on September 22, 1871. The city was named for William G. Moorhead, a director of the Northern Pacific Railway. Moorhead was officially incorporated in 1881-and later that same decade added electric, water, sewer, fire and police services. That's also when Moorhead developed a reputation as "Sin City," with more than 100 bars at a time when neighboring Fargo, N.D., did not allow the sale of alcohol.
