Resident Stories 

“I love living in Thief River Falls because of the community size, the family atmosphere that a small community has. Everybody’s friendly. Everybody’s familiar with each other, and it makes for a great place to live.”

Sean Sorteberg

Thief River Falls Area Resident

“In a big city, you’re just kind of a number. I feel like here, we support each other, and we care about each other. You don’t get that kind of togetherness in a big city.”
