History
Pioneer settlers first arrived in the North Plains area in the 1840s. The area to be known as the city of North Plains was platted in September 1910 by the Ruth Trust Company of Portland. They purchased area tracts after James J. Hill planned to extend United Railways there.
On June 25, 1963, North Plains voted 90 to 56 to incorporate as a city; at the time the population was around 500.
Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club is just outside town. David Duval won the Nike Tour Championship there in 1993, and it was home to the U.S. Women’s Open in 1997 and 2003. Horning’s Hideout within the North Plains area was home to Faerieworlds Festival 2004. Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club has become a center of controversy since agreeing to host the first U.S. golf tournament on American soil of LIV Golf , the tour backed by bin Salman and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
