Minot Normal School
In 1911 there apparently some debate over
where to build the Minot Normal School. Some wanted it built on South Hill and
the other location was in North Minot. Residents of the town of Flaxton sent a
telegram to Martin Jacobson (Jacobson Hardware) urging the city to build on
south hill and start construction as soon as possible…. Well as history shows,
the Minot Normal School was finally built outside of Minot on the north side of
town. The Normal School later became known as the Minot State Teacher’s College
, then Minot State College and now Minot State University…..
