Fargo–Moorhead metro
One metro, two states, two counties, and a river down the middle that decides which rules apply to you.
Short answer
The Fargo–Moorhead metropolitan area covers Cass County, North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota. Its core cities are Fargo and West Fargo on the North Dakota side and Moorhead and Dilworth on the Minnesota side, with commuter towns like Horace, Harwood, Casselton, Glyndon, and Hawley inside its daily orbit.
Why the state line matters daily
911 works everywhere. Almost nothing else copies across. Police, city services, county human services, tenant law, and many assistance programs follow the state and county you are standing in. A phone number that solves a problem in Fargo may be irrelevant in Moorhead, six minutes away.
How Help Me treats the metro
As one place, because people live it as one place — they work on one side and sleep on the other. City and neighborhood pages describe that lived geography, while resource pages stay strict about which side of the river a service belongs to.
Questions people actually ask
Is West Fargo part of Fargo?
No. It is its own city with its own police, schools, and snow rules, inside the same metro.
Which county am I in?
Fargo and West Fargo are Cass County, ND. Moorhead and Dilworth are Clay County, MN.

Official help, listed on purpose
Police, 911, 211, campus safety, food, shelter, and county services in Fargo, Moorhead, and West Fargo. Help Me is not these pages.
Help Me is a community app for adults in Fargo–Moorhead. It is not a K–12 student program, not a youth chat, and not campus police.
