Prior to settlement by Europeans or Americans, the area where the city now sits – at the forks of the Red River and Red Lake River – had been an important meeting and trading point for Native Americans. Early French explorers, fur trappers, and traders called the area Les Grandes Fourches meaning "The Grand Forks". By the 1740s, Les Grandes Fourches was an important trading post for French fur trappers. A U.S. post office was established on the site on June 15, 1870, and the name was changed to "Grand Forks".

The Nakota, Lakota, and Dakota peoples inhabited the Glasgow region until 1888. In 1887 they signed a treaty surrendering 17,500,000 acres. They were relocated tot he Fort Peck Indian Reservation and all tribes removed from the Glasgow area. At one time this area supported huge herds of buffalo and other games, as reported by the Lewis and Clark expedition. The last native American buffalo hunt held here occurred in 1885.
