Fargo Bridge & Iron Co.
Fargo Bridge & Iron Co. was a bridge company based in North Dakota in the early part of the 20th century.
History
It grew out of a partnership beginning in 1889 between Francis E. Dibley, who had previously been a representative of the Wisconsin Bridge and Iron Company, and W. H. Robinson from Mayville. In 1898, Dibley and W.H. Robinson formed the bridge-building partnership of Dibley and Robinson, and actively began soliciting county bridge contracts throughout eastern North Dakota. In 1901, Robinson left the company, and Dibley reorganized the firm into the Fargo Bridge and Iron Company.It was the state's dominant bridge-building company in its day, and its works include many bridges that are now listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
