The clear standout is Williston, which surpassed Fargo in total taxable sales and purchases in 2011 by $100 million, Fong said. Fargo’s total was $2.4 billion compared to Williston’s $2.5 billion. Williston had 88.5 percent growth from 2010 to 2011.Once upon a time, $100 million in tax receipts for Williston would have been a good year. Now, that is the delta between Fargo, North Dakota's largest city by far, and Williston, the smallest of the major ND cities.
Some data points:
- year-over-year, North Dakota's tax receipts increased 40%
- North Dakota's tax receipts in 2011: $20 billion
- Ray: 635% (Ray is a bit northeast of Williston)

- Dickinson: 50%
