The history of Minot dates back to the construction of the Great Northern Railroad in 1886. The Great Northern Railway had just finished being constructed across a difficult part of the Gassman Coulee when winter approached. The railway's push west ended until the Spring. A tent town sprung up at the site and in five months quickly grew to over 5,000 residents. The town was referred to as the Magic City because it seemed to materialize as if by magic. The township location belonged to homesteader Erik Ramstad, who became one of the leaders of Minot City and was named in honor of a railroad investor, Henry D. Minot. Minot was incorporated as a city in 1887.

The Minot Air Force Base situated 21 km north of Minot provides a certain amount of economic security for residents by generating jobs, even though two-thirds of Minot households earn less than the national median household income. A large minority of Minot residents should have more than one job to be able to make ends meet.

ING/ReliaStar has a big service center in the City of Minot and cited the caliber of people who work and live in Minot as the reason for the decision of the company to locally expand. In recent years, a boom within population and infrastructure investments have resulted from expanded oil drilling within the region utilizing the 'frac' extraction method.
