History
The Village of North Fargo was incorporated in 1913 when residents secured special legislation permitting the action. The Village of North Fargo was located between 12th and 15th Avenues North and 13th (University Drive) and 10th Streets North. In 1922, the City of Fargo claimed it had the right to annex the Village of North Fargo, and lawsuits ensued. In April 1923 an election was held by the residents of the Village of North Fargo, in which it was voted 99 to 93 to dissolve the Village within six months. At that point the City of Fargo moved forward with annexing the property. In May 1923, Seth Richardson, attorney for the Village declared the results of the election void due to an error in the balloting. The case became quite contentious, with it ending up in the North Dakota Supreme Court in 1925. The court sided in favor of the City of Fargo.
