HAPPY TO BE HOME.
Welcome
to Shelly, Minnesota!
In Shelly, the pace of life is a little bit slower. But that just means you have time to focus on the things that matter. Without the constraints of long commutes and traffic, you gain back your most precious resource: your time.
How you choose to spend it? That’s up to you. Whether it’s out in nature, in the community, or at the ball field, your quality of life is bound to improve as you take in that fresh air and find deeper connections with nature, with others, and even with yourself.
We might be a small town, but there’s nothing small about the life you’ll live here.

Shelly is Transforming
Just 45 minutes north of the Fargo-Moorhead metro, the City of Shelly is steeped in history and tradition. We take great pride in the pivotal role our community plays bringing crops and food to the plates of families around the world. As with agriculture, our community continues to transform.
​
Once boasting a busy and bustling downtown, while smaller, our small-town charm and ease of access to the larger metro areas is what sets us apart. We're a quick drive to many places while still securing the calm and quiet pace of life.
​
Our regional economy is strong and strengthens with each new business and each new expansion. Companies, large and small, are finding success - along with the continued agricultural production.
​
We look forward to writing our next chapter as a place for families to grow, thrive and enjoy life. Come, and be a part of the transformation.
