– Minot 1915 –
Minot’s remarkable growth has been in the last few
years. In 1900 there were scarcely 1200 people, but each succeeding year has
been a steady, substantial increase until today there are more than 10,000
residents. While commercial progress has been wonderful, the social side of the
city has not been neglected, and what used to be a baron stretch of prairie and
useless hills has been transformed into a beautiful city with prosperous homes
and well kept farms, a striking contrast to the early days of construction and
a sample of Western Industry. Three trunk lines of railway and branches,
wholesale houses, elevators, flour mills, creameries, good hotels, churches and
schools help make Minot what she is today, “The Magic City”. The wholesale
houses have for many years formed the backbone of the business industries. The
geographical situation of Minot makes her the natural distributing point for
the vast and fertile fields of the great northwest.
