About Thompson
Just fifteen minutes south of Grand Forks, Thompson is a relaxed town of about 1,100 people that offers plenty of breathing room. It started in the 1880s as a small railroad stop and has since grown into a favorite spot for anyone who wants quiet neighborhoods within an easy drive of the city.
Much of the town's energy revolves around the local K-12 school, where sports and community events bring neighbors together throughout the year. With Interstate 29 running right alongside town, commuting into Grand Forks for work, shopping, or dinner is quick and simple, making Thompson a great home base for families and professionals alike.
