Minot came into existence in 1886, when Jim Hill's Great Northern Railroad ended its push through the state for the winter, after having trouble constructing a trestle across Gassman Coulee. A tent town sprung up over night, as if by magic, thus the city came to be known as the Magic City, and in the next occurring 5 months, the population increased to over 5,000 residents, further adding to the nicknames validity.
