The International Falls–Fort Frances Border Crossing connects the cities of
Fort Frances, Ontario, at the Fort Frances–International Falls International Bridge
.
The US port of entry was established in 1895, when the city of International Falls and its post office were established. However, significant cross-border traffic didn't occur until after the dam across the Rainy River was completed in 1905. In 1912, the Fort Frances–International Falls International Bridge was completed.[1] It was built by the Minnesota and Ontario Paper Company, and featured a railroad track and two vehicular lanes. Cars and trucks must cross the tracks at grade on both ends of the bridge.
