East Grand Forks is a city in Polk County, Minnesota in the United States. The population was 7,501 at the 2000 census. It is located in the Red River Valley region on the eastern banks of the Red River of the North, directly across from the larger city of Grand Forks, North Dakota. It is a core city of the " Grand Forks, ND - MN Metropolitan Statistical Area " or " Greater Grand Forks ". The famous Whitey's Bar and Cafe is a local institution. Located in the downtown area, Whitey's has been operating continuously since the 1930s and was once the center of East Grand Forks' reputation as a wild town akin to Chicago during the days of Prohibition. Ripley's Believe It or Not once labeled a portion of the downtown area as the highest concentration of neon signage in the world. East Grand Forks, along with Grand Forks, was heavily damaged by a major flood in 1997. The entire city was under a mandatory evacuation and almost no homes were spared damage. After the flood, several neighborhoods had to be demolished. The city has rebuilt itself and the once inundated downtown area now contains a number of new businesses including a Cabela's sporting goods store. A new system of dikes is currently being constructed to protect the city from future flooding. The land bordering the Red and Red Lake rivers has been cleared of developments and is now a large park known as The Greenway. Featured Homes in East Grand Forks, MN
