Built near the Sheyenne Diversion
The state and federal government built the Sheyenne Diversion in 1990 to 1992. Its canal carries Sheyenne River floodwater west and south of Horace and past western West Fargo, and it's credited with protecting the area in the 1997 flood. A lot of the town's newer housing has gone up in the years since.
