Hillsboro Jobs

Hillsboro is a city in Traill County, North Dakota in the United States. It is the county seat of Traill County . The population was 1,563 at the 2000 census. Hillsboro was founded in 1881.

In recent years, Hillsboro has become a bedroom community for the Greater Grand Forks and Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan areas. This has led to an increase in both population and home construction.
