Wahpeton is a small city on the Minnesota state line, about fifty miles south of Fargo. The community has a rich history, and many of the buildings downtown (including the iconic Richland County Courthouse) date back well over a century. The small Downtown district along Dakota Avenue serves as a popular hangout for residents, hosting a popular collective of locally-owned specialty shops, cafes, and neighborhood bars.

Manufacturing has long been the main industry in the area, and several plants operate in town and nearby. The Red River flows along the eastern border of the city, and on its banks you’ll find lush green parks and the Bois de Sioux Golf Course, offering terrific opportunities to spend time outdoors.
