Fargo is the largest city in the U.S. state
of North Dakota and the county seat of Cass County. Fargo, along with
its twin city of Moorhead, Minnesota plus adjacent West Fargo,
North Dakota and Dilworth, Minnesota, form the center of the Fargo-Moorhead,
ND-MN Metropolitan Statistical Area. Founded in 1871, Fargo is the crossroads
and economic center of southeastern North Dakota and a portion of northwestern
Minnesota. Fargo is a cultural, retail, manufacturing, health care, and
educational hub for the region. Fargo is home to North Dakota State University.

Sign
about The Fargo Walk of Fame
The
Fargo Walk of Fame was started by local businessman Mike Stevens after
he visited Mann's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. Mike began approaching
celebrities who were visiting Fargo, and with a slab of wet cement
he asked for their hand and footprints, which he then set into a 40-foot
stretch of sidewalk in front of his downtown print shop. It was a way
to take a one-night stand at Bison Stadium or the Fargo dome and make
it last forever.
When the movie Fargo turned the city into something of a celebrity itself, the Walk of Fame was moved to the Fargo Welcome Center on the outskirts of town. More than 100 of the known and lesser-known are now preserved here. Celebrities include a lot of country-western singers such as Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Suzy Boggus, Pam Tillis, Sawyer Brown, Highway 101, McBride and The Ride, plus many others such as: Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie, Bill Gates, Dr. Ruth, Styx, Def Leppard and so many others.
