The Hillsboro Community
With a population of more than 1,560 people, our town provides several big-city features and amenities right here in our hometown, including K-12 education, medical facilities, parks, a pool, and golf course, to name a few. We are home to several places of worship. Plus, this hometown enjoys the availability of many retail stores, including grocery, drug, flower, and gift stores. In the heart of the rich Red River Valley of North Dakota, Hillsboro is a welcoming community with a proud history and promising future.
First settled by Germans in 1869 and soon followed by Norwegians, the forested area along the Goose River offered early homesteaders shelter from the wild prairie. Into this wilderness came the railroad baron James J. Hill.
According to area tradition, Hill was traveling from Winnipeg to Minneapolis by dog sled in the late 1870s. He stopped at a hotel in nearby Caledonia, then the main settlement along the Goose River. The fur-clad adventurer and his dirty dogs were turned away.
Hill found hospitality on that cold, stormy winter evening, farther to the west along the Goose. A widow homesteader and her children put Hill up for the night. He never forgot her hospitality or the slight from the hotel clerk, vowing that his railroad would never pass through Caledonia.
In 1880, the Great Northern Railroad, Hills railroad, laid track well to the west. Where it stopped that year, a town soon grew and was eventually named Hillsboro in honor of Hill. The Fargo to Grand Forks rail line brought settlers and visitors to the thriving and enterprising community that continued to be known for hospitality.
