Carrington, North Dakota
Proud to be American
Carrington is the first city in North Dakota
to show our patriotic
spirit by painting our Water Tower
Red-White & Blue
The painting was completed in June of 2003
Carrington is located in the central
eastern portion of North Dakota. We are called the "Central
City" because we are within a 150 mile radius from the 4 largest
cities in North Dakota: Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks and Minot.
Carrington is a progressive mid-sized city of approximately 3000
residents. We are the commercial center of Foster County. Our community
has developed into an active service center with over 150 businesses
and professional services, growing industrial park, great schools
and health care. Our rich agricultural heritage has made Carrington
the safe and wholesome place that it is. Carrington is great place
to live, work and raise a family with low crime rates, clean air,
friendly neighbors, and an attractive environment .

Welcome to Foster County
Foster County Court House

Foster County is 644 square miles of land
located in the center of North Dakota.
It is one of the smallest of
the state's 53 counties, 18 miles by 36 miles in dimension. It is
bordered by Eddy, Griggs, Stutsman and Wells counties.
Foster is divided into 18 townships with the
seat of county government located in Carrington. It became a part
of the United States when President Jefferson purchased a tract
of land known as the Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803. Very
little was known about the area until an expedition led by Lewis
and Clark made the trip across what is now North Dakota looking
for a passage to the Pacific Ocean.
Visitors coming to what is now Foster County
found prairie lands and rolling plains covered with prairie grass
which provided abundant food for the herds of buffalo, deer, antelope,
fox, coyotes, and other wild animals that were found in the area.
There were very few trees except along the James River and some
other
smaller streams. |
