| While the town was laid out in 1920 with the announcement by J.J. Hill that he planned to extend his United Railways line to North Plains. North Plains was advertized as a place with beautiful scenery, fertile land, and rich farms so the Railways felt a guarantee of success in anticipation of thousands of investors flocking to the area. North Plains was incorporated in 1963 and it has been written this was only due to the railroads as the farmers were too busy getting rich to build a town. As it turned out the town never really boomed as when it incorporated in 1963 there were nearly 500 residents within the boundaries that were set up 50 years before. |
