East Grand Forks

East Grand Forks occupies the eastern bank of the Red River in Minnesota’s Red River Valley, directly opposite Grand Forks, North Dakota. The broad, level valley was shaped by ancient Glacial Lake Agassiz and remains an important agricultural region. Life here is closely tied to the river: the two downtowns are linked by bridges, while the riverside Greenway combines open public space with flood-control infrastructure. The 1997 Red River flood reshaped both communities and prompted a major rebuilding effort, making resilience part of the city’s modern identity.
