1888 Minot City Ordinances – In 1888 it was illegal to ride or drive horses
in the city limits faster than a trot or 8 mph – while it sounds funny today,
with no traffic signals a galloping horse was a threat to public safety ….
There was a “vice” ordinance prohibiting anyone from owning or visiting a
“bawdy house” or a house of “ill fame”…… Drunken or disorderly conduct was
subject to a fine of not more than $19.00 and/or 9 days in jail ….. it was also
illegal to keep horses, mules, cows, sheep, goats or swine (pigs) within the
city limits ……
