The Fargo Oak Grove Residential Historic District is a historic district located around North and South Terrace Avenues near downtown Fargo, North Dakota. The homes date from the period 1895 to 1952 and include working-class, gable-fronted cottages and vernacular bungalows."[1] The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[2]

According to the State Historical Society of North Dakota, the district "has a tangible cohesiveness in the scale, density, material character, and landscape treatment that unifies this neighborhood."[1][3]

Most of the Oak Grove neighborhood was flooded with several feet of water from the Red River in the spring of 1997.[4] The area was flooded again in the spring of 2009.[5]
