Grand Forks

City and administrative headquarters of Grand Forks County, east North Dakota, USA, situated on the Minnesota border, 124 km/77 mi north of Fargo, on the Red River; population (2000) 49,300. It is a centre for the surrounding agricultural area; most of its industries, such as food-processing mills and fertilizer plants, are associated with agriculture.
