Grand Forks (population 52,838) is a city in the state of North Dakota. It serves as the county seat of Grand Forks County.

The Grand Forks, ND-MN Metropolitan Statistical Area has a population of nearly 100,000.

Grand Forks is situated on the Red River banks within the Red River Valley. This region is a low-lying region which is susceptible to some flooding. The most recent large scale flood during the year 1997, was among the most severe since the year 1826. The early French fur traders named the town Les Grandes Fourches. It was established at the fork of the Red Lake River and the Red River by Alexander Griggs, a steamboat captain, and incorporated during the year 1881. Soon, agriculture flourished in the fertile valley soil.

These days, the city is dependent on various modern industries, such as health care, defense, manufacturing, food processing, scientific research and higher education.
