The climate of Fargo (North Dakota - United States of America)
Fargo  is a large city located in the eastern part of North Dakota on the banks of the Red River. This river forms the natural border with the state of Minnesota. Just like many cities in the United States the city was founded at the end of the 19th century with the coming of the Northern Pacific Railway. The city was soon known as the Gateway to the West. The North Dakota State University can be found here since 1890. Nowadays this is still the biggest employer in the city.
