Once the city fire station, the building later became the city hall. Some other points of interest include: the county museum, Lake Alice, George B. Wright Park, Pebble Lake Golf Course, and Veteran's Memorial Park. The arts in Fergus Falls are booming with a wonderful community theater program situated in the downtown area.

Background

Fergus Falls was incorporated in the late 1870s and named for a Scottish trapper who was the first European to find the waterfall which gave the city its name. It is situated along the dividing line between the former great deciduous forest of the Northwest Territories to the East, and the great plains to the West, in a region of gentle hills, where the recent geological history is dominated by the recession of the glaciers from the last great Ice Age, with numerous lakes and small rivers about.

Ethnicity

A strong economic division between the earlier English and Scottish war veterans who retained control of the principal businesses of the city center, the banks, and the increasingly important Otter Tail Power Company persisted for decades until several generations of ethnic intermarriage and continuing inward and outward migration largely erased the initially strong divisions of class and power along ethnic lines. The small black community, largely Baptist, which clustered in the Southeast section of the city, gradually dwindled. Two major tornadoes hit Fergus Falls during the early 20th century, the second, the Fergus Falls tornado of 1919, being the greater. The only Church edifice left standing after the great cyclone was the predominantly-black Baptist church. Otter Tail Power Company has its headquarters in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. ... The Fergus Falls tornado of 1919 was a large and destructive tornado that struck Fergus Falls, Minnesota on June 22, 1919. ...

Growth

The dams built on the Otter Tail River beginning in the 1980s were powerful economic forces, which shaped the development of culture and class structure in the area. Returning soldiers from the American Civil War, primarily of British extraction, rapidly settled the region for farming (wheat and corn in the Western plains and dairy and hogs in the Eastern hills and forests), filling the vacuum created by the brutal repression of the Sioux uprising. The importance of the Civil War experience to these early settlers is highlighted by the naming of the streets of Fergus Falls: The intersecting principal thoroughfares are Lincoln Avenue and Union Avenue. The oldest parts of the town have streets with names such as Sherman, Sheridan, and Vernon. The early English wave of settlement claimed control of the falls along the Otter Tail River, and established the first Episcopalian and Presbyterian churches.

In early 2007, Tamarack Square was announced, which is expected to bring new retail outlets to the west side of Fergus Falls.

Population growth & loss

After the Interstate Defense Highway System built Interstate 94 along the western edge of Fergus Falls in the late 1950s, population mobility increased dramatically, and high school graduates increasingly left the town to attend colleges in Morris, Fargo-Moorhead, or the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. As farming declined as an occupation and lifestyle, with large-scale commercial farming gradually replacing the family farm system during the second half of the 20th century, the city appeared increasingly destined to become a retirement and nursing community, until in-migration of younger families was enabled by the Internet, which allowed telecommuting and e-business. The bucolic environment, with abundant sporting opportunities which had long attracted summer vacationers to the area, combined with the relatively low cost of real estate and cost of living attracted people wishing to raise their children away from the comparatively commercialized and criminalized environments of larger cities. Interstate 94 (abbreviated I-94) is the northernmost east-west interstate highway, connecting the Great Lakes and Intermountain regions of the United States. ...

Immigration

Almost as soon as the foundational structure of the town was laid, an influx of Norwegian immigrants arrived, by way of the Scandinavian slums of Chicago and Minneapolis, riding the Great Northern Railway. Primarily dairy farmers, they established numerous Lutheran churches in the area. The Lutheran Brethren (Church of the Lutheran Brethren of America) established an academy in Fergus Falls, which today operates a private high school, theological seminary, and mission society. The pietistic, low-church Lutheran Brethren constituted one cultural center of the Norwegian-German community, while the high-church First Lutheran constituted a separate center, which attracted a more upwardly-mobile class of parishioner. The Church of the Lutheran Brethren of America (CLBA) is a Lutheran denomination of Christians rooted in a spiritual awakening at the turn of the 20th century. ...
