Cass County History

Cass County was established in 1873 and named for George Washington Cass, a rail-road executive. Fargo was selected as the county seat and the rich, fertile soil of the Red River Valley drew settlers that established homesteads. Fargo was selected as the county seat and hotels, churches, schools and a variety of businesses were quickly constructed. Early industry was dominated by agriculture as residents farmed and shipped wheat. By 1910 its population had reached 33,935 and the area continued to develop. In 1950 its population had reached 58,877 and the area continued to grow. Today Cass County is home to approximately 149,778 residents.

KINDREDKindred was first settled in 1871 and the community was named after local landowner William Kindred. Many settlers were of Norwegian descent and the Kindred was therefore known as a second Norway. A post office was established in 1874 and a general store, bank and school soon followed. The community was nearly destroyed by fire in 1901, but residents rebuilt resiliently. Today Kindred is home to approximately 692 residents.

MAPLETONFirst known as Maple River, Mapleton was settled in 1870 and a post office was established in 1875 with Mrs. Mary Bishop serving as its first postmaster. Early industry was led by agricul-ture as many residents farmed wheat and by 1884 Mapleton was incorporated. The commu-nity rivaled Fargo in size during the 1880s as it was a prime area to raise families, however as development slowed, growth began to slow. Today Mapleton is home to approximately 762 residents.

WEST FARGOIn 1872 railroad expansion in the area allowed for development and West Fargo was first known as Haggart. Early businesses included a hotel, general store and a post office and by 1925 the community was renamed West Fargo. The nearby communities of Southwest Fargo and Riverside were consolidated to form present-day West Fargo and in 1986 voters elected the first female mayor, Florenz Bjornson, who held office until 2002. Today West Fargo is home to approximately 25,830 residents.


CASSELTONCasselton was established in 1873 as rail lines were constructed throughout the area and the community was originally known by a variety of names until a rail station was constructed in 1876 and the area was recognized as Casston. Its name was changed again in 1876 toCasselton as its first post office was established. By 1880 its population had reached 376 and Casselton was incorporated. Today Casselton is home to approximately 2,329 residents.

FARGO (COUNTY SEAT)Fargo, originally known as Centralia, was established in 1871 as a stopping place for steam-boat travelers. Settlers arrived to stake land claims and the community began to progress as rail lines were constructed. Centralia was renamed Fargo in honor of railroad director andcofounder of the Wells Fargo Express Company, William G. Fargo and the community was selected as the county seat. Fertile soil continued to attract new residents and by 1892 its population reached over 8,000. Fire destroyed the area the following year, but Fargo was quickly rebuilt. The community is now recognized as an educational, manufacturing and cul-tural hub for the area with three universities located within city limits. Today Fargo is home to approximately 105,549 residents.

HARWOOD Harwood was established in 1881 and named in honor of A.J. Harwood, a local land devel-oper and banker. Streets were platted the following year and by 1884 its population had reached 200. By 1890 the community housed grain elevators, a hotel, lumberyard, dance hall and a variety of businesses. Harwood continued to thrive and was incorporated in 1978. Today Harwood is home to approximately 718 residents.

HORACEHorace was founded in 1882 as the railroad was constructed. Access to water attracted many residents and the community began to grow. In 1950 its population reached 150 and the area continued to develop. The community is now one of the fastest growing communities in North Dakota due to its close proximity to Fargo with a current population growth over 150%. Today Horace is home to approximately 2,430 residents.

Twentieth Century Vikings

Ancient GPS

Bob Asp, a Moorhead middle school counselor and carpenter, turned his hobby into a historical achievement for his town. During his hospital stay to recover from a broken leg, he passed the time reading about Norwegian history. He was especially intrigued by Viking “dragon ships,” and decided to build a replica for a voyage of his own. In 1972, he began his project by chopping down oak trees for building material along the Red River and in Alvarado and Oslo, Minnesota. He consulted with nautical and historical societies in America and Norway, and drew up his blueprint for a Gokstad Viking Ship. In 1973, Hawley leased out an old potato warehouse to house the ship’s construction until its launch. One year after Asp began crafting his ship, he was diagnosed with leukemia. However, he did not give up on his plans, and continued building throughout his chemotherapy. When the ship neared completion in 1978, the Hawley community hosted several fundraisers to help and attracted volunteers. In 1980 the Viking ship was complete!Asp died of a second broken leg and leukemia complications the following year. However, his passion for learning and his impressive ship lived on. The Hjemkomst, or “Homecoming,” brought thousands of community members and other enthusiasts together, and would sail all the way to Norway in 1982. Read more about the Hjemkomst at http://www.hawley.govoffice.com, and see the impres-sive Viking ship for yourself at Hjemkomst Center, located at 202 First Avenue North inMoorhead.

For centuries, Georgetown’s central landmark was a famous Old Oak Tree. According to George-town City’s website, the tree “marked the site of Old Georgetown. It was a huge oak with low hanging branches. The tree was a permanent road map for the Hudson’s Bay settlers in those early years.” In addition to helping residents navigate, it also helped Native American tribes define their territory and keep the peace: “The road into the village went on either side of this tree. It es-tablished the boundary line for nine Indian tribes to avoid encroachment upon one another’s hunting grounds” (ci.georgetown.mn.us). Who knew a tree could be such an effective pacifist? The tree died in 1911, and is marked and commemorated by a rock carving at Hudson’s Bay Post. What landmarks keep you grounded and help you find your way?

Productivity TipsGet up earlierSome of the most successful people in the world start their days before 6 a.m. It may be hard at first, but you can start by waking up 15 minutes earlier and gradually increase the time from there. Soon enough you will be awake and getting things done before most people are out of bed. That will allow you a head start on everybody else.Start with “me time”First thing in the morning go through all of your social media posts, respond to all of the little things that others need you to so they can get to work and set up a schedule for the rest of your day. Getting organized in the morning will help the rest of the day go smoother.Sleep wellWhile waking up early is important, so is going to bed early. The bare minimum a person needs to sleep is 7-8 hours at a time to stay healthy. You will be able to think more clearly and make better decisions if you have a good night’s sleep.Use time-blockingTake your to-do list and block off a time to get each item done. Make sure all of your desktop, online, mobile, and physical calendar’s are in sync. You want to be on the same page with all your devices.Once you have the time set aside to accomplish a task do not get distracted. If turning off your phone and locking yourself in a room is what it takes, then do that!Use checklistsIf you are operating under a deadline or you have a lot of tasks to accomplish, a checklist will help you keep you focused and on track.Schedule breaksTaking breaks is important because it allows your body and mind to get organized. If you schedule your breaks regularly it allows your mind to structure your day better. It would be hard for most people to do but if you can take a 10-20 minute power nap right after lunch it may help you feel energized and refreshed!Clear your clutterIt is important to keep a clean work station because order will help your mind focus on accomplishing your goals. Even if it looks like a mess to others having a place for everything will help anybody focus and be more productive.Get FitBeing in shape and exercising regularly will help keep you energized throughout the day.


• Know where you can take shelter in seconds. • Have a place, everyone knows, to go to after the storm has passed. • Flying Debris is the biggest danger during a tornado. Your shelter space should have mattresses or thick blankets around, to protect yourselves. • Do NoT oPeN YouR WiNDoWS to try & “equalize the pressure.” This only makes it easier for debris to injure you. • Also, STAY AWAY FRoM WiNDoWS!

• Constant rotation of the clouds base. • Flying/Rotating Debris under the cloud. Tornados Don’t Always have a visible funnel. • Heavy Rain or Hail followed by either by an eerie Calm in the storm or Rapid wind changes & shifts. • Listen for loud, continuous rumbling with no breaks in it like thunder.

Precautions:

Things to Look and Listen For:

• Do not consume alcohol or take drugs prior to or during your snowmobile trip. Doing so increases your chances of injury or death.• Slow down and don’t cut to the inside of the trail corners. It’s dangerous and il-legal. • If you snowmobile at night, don’t override your lights. • Always use the buddy system. Never ride off alone. • Drowning is one of the causes of many snow-mobile fatalities. Whenever possible, avoid the ice. • Wear sensible, protective clothing designed for oper-ating a snowmobile. • Use a full size helmet, goggles, or visor to prevent injuries from twigs, stones, ice chips and other debris. • Avoid wearing long scarves. They may get caught in moving parts of the snowmo-bile. • Know the terrain you are going to ride. If un-familiar to you, ask someone who has traveled over it before. • Know the weather forecast, especially the ice and snow conditions. • Be sure your snowmobile is in top-notch mechanical condition throughout the months of use. • Familiarize yourself with the snow-mobile you are driving. Thoroughly read the manual that accompanies the snowmobile. • Do not pursue domestic or wild animals. That is not the conduct of a sportsman.

Healthy Habits

Eat BreakfastA healthy balanced breakfast every morning is very important. It allows your body to run smoothly throughout the day and can help with weight control while lowering your cholesterol levels. It will improve things like concentration, performance and strength. Also studies have shown that women who skip breakfast have a higher chance of developing diabetes and men who skip breakfast have a higher chance for heart disease.

Eat Your GreensLeafy greens and vegetables contain phytochemicals which help to fight diseases. This will help against things like metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cancer and strokes. Vegetables are also rich in fiber which helps with hunger. The recommended amount of vegetables for the average person is around 2 ½ cups a day.

Drink Enough WaterMany people don’t get enough water throughout the day. It is recommended that the average person drinks roughly a half gallon a day which is equal to about eight 8 ounce glasses. Water helps rid the body of toxins and with unwanted weight gain by flushing out by-products of fat in your system. Water also helps your immune system, energy levels, focus and mood.


Take a Walk During Lunch BreakYour body and mind benefit greatly when getting out for a quick walk. A walk can help with weight management, blood pressure, bone strength, balance and coordination. Plus it helps you focus by getting extra blood flow and oxygen to your brain. Also a lot of people don’t get enough vitamin D in their diet and getting outside is one of the easiest ways to ensure you are getting your vitamin D.

Get Up and MoveIt is important to try and get around 10,000 steps in per day. It is very hard on our bodies when we are slumped over a desk or kicked back in a recliner all day. Studies have shown that just from walking more you can lower your risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. It may be hard to get the 10,000 steps in every day but doing small things like getting up from your desk every so often and doing a lap around the office or parking farther away from your destination will help.

Floss and BrushThis might not seem like the most significant

health issue but it is very important. If you don’t floss and brush daily you build up plaque on

your teeth and at the gum lines. This can lead to things like gum disease and if not treated can enter the bloodstream and trigger

inflammation in the arteries causing things like heart disease, diabetes,

erectile dysfunction in males and delayed conception for women.



Safety TipsPARENTS:• Teach your kids that an emergency is when you need help from a doctor, a police officer or a firefighter.

• Designate a safe place by your house that a child can go to if they need help right away.

• Have your kids memorize your address and phone numbers. They should also know your full name and where you work.

KIDS:FIRE SAFETY• If you or someone else is on fire - remember to STOP, DROP and ROLL. Wrap a blanket on the person to help put out the fire.

• If there is a fire, leave the house as fast as you can! Crawl on the floor to avoid smoke and if the door is hot, don’t open it - find another way out.

• Learn all the fire exits in your house. Assign a safe place outside for everyone to meet in case of a fire emergency.

HOME ALONE• Never tell anyone that you are home alone.

• If someone calls and asks for your mom and dad, tell them “They cannot come to the phone right now, can you please call back later?”

• Do not answer the door, unless it is someone that you know your parents have okay‘d them to come over.


FIRST AID FOR INSECT BITES/ANAPHYLAXIS & POISON SAFETYINSECT BITES/ANAPHYLAXISAnaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction from insect bites (latex, food and drug aller-gies can also cause Anaphylaxis). Typical symptoms include hives, the swelling of lips or eyes, swollen throat, drop in blood pressure, light headedness, confusion, nausea or diarrhea. If someone is having an allergic reaction from an insect bite seek medical attention immediately.

POISON PREVENTIONTeach your children about poison and how it can look like a food or drink. They should always ask an adult before eating or drinking anything. Have them learn the

poison control phone number: 1-800-222-1222 and keep it programmed or posted near all your phones. Here are some prevention tips.

Lock up your poisons and medications. Keep them out of the reach of children, lock them up if possible. Make sure your children understand that medicine is not candy.Follow directions carefully. Read your labels. Be sure to use and store all poisons and medications properly according to recommendations.

Keep your pets safe from household chemicals, too. Don’t allow pets near areas that have just been cleaned with chemicals, such as freshly mopped floors or bleached bathtubs and sinks. Clean up any antifreeze/coolant spills. Pets like the flavor but they can die if they ingest it. Store poisonous foods or plants in areas that your pets cannot access. Call your local emergency veterinary hospital if you believe your pet has been poisoned.


Safety Tips

FIRST AID FOR BURNS & CHOKINGBURNSFor minor 1st and 2nd degree burns smaller than 3” in diameter: Cool the Burn. Run cool water over the burned area for 5 minutes, or until the pain diminishes. Never put ice on a burn!

Bandage the burn with sterile gauze: It is important to use loosely wrapped gauze. This will avoid pressure and the bandage pro-tects blisters. NEVER put lotions, vaseline, ointments or butter on burn. Do not break any blis-ters, which can cause infection.

Take Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen or Acetaminophen to relieve pain: Minor burns usually heal with these basic treatments. Be aware for signs of infection which may include: increased pain, redness, fever, swelling or oozing. If symptoms develop, seek medical help. Avoid tanning the burned area for at least a year. Protect the area with sun-screen outdoors. Avoid giving aspirin to children.

For 3rd degree burns/all major burns - DIAL 911DO NOT run cold water over large severe burns - this can cause shock.DO NOT remove burnt clothing.Check for signs of breathing/coughing/movement.If there are no signs of breathing begin CPR.Elevate burned areas above heart level, if possible.Cover the burn(s) with cool, sterile, moist bandages, towels or cloth.

CHOKINGMost people clutch at their throats when choking, an obvious symbol for help. However, if a person isn’t giving that signal, be alert for these indications. Inability to talk, difficulty breath-ing or noisy breathing, inability to cough forcefully, skin/lips/nails turning blue, loss of con-sciousness.

The Red Cross recommends a “five-and-five” method for first aid: First give five blows between the person’s shoulders with the heel of your hand. Second, perform the Heimlich maneuver (abdominal thrusts) five times. Alternate between five back blows and five abdominal thrusts until the blockage is dis-lodged.

IN AN EMERGENCY, DIAL 911
