Forman is a city in and the county seat of Sargent County, North Dakota, United States.[5] The population was 509 at the 2020 census.[3] Forman was founded in 1883.

History

[edit]

Forman was founded in 1883 by Cornelius Forman. In 1886, the county seat was transferred to Forman from Minor.[6]

Until 1967, Forman was the only town in North Dakota, as all other incorporated communities were either villages or cities. It had become so by a special legal process.[7] In that year it became a city, because the state legislature declared that all incorporated communities were to be cities without distinction of rank.[8]
