About Horace, ND

A post office has been in operation at Horace since 1875. The city is named after Horace Greeley of Chappaqua, New York, editor of the New York Tribune . Greeley encouraged western settlement with the motto " Go West, young man". The city is bordered on the west by the Sheyenne River, a tributary of the Red River of the North. To reduce damage from seasonal flooding, which sometimes was very severe, the state and federal government collaborated on the Sheyenne Diversion Project, constructing a canal and associated support in 1990-1992 to move Sheyenne flood waters to the west and south of Horace, and north past the western side of West Fargo.
