Here is a brief introduction to the state of North Dakota.

State’s Flag: North Dakota’s flag, adopted in 1911, shows a version of the U.S. coat of arms. A scroll displays the state’s name.

          Among the most isolated regions of our country, North Dakota occupies the geographic center of North America. Although it is far from oceans, large cities, and cultural and manufacturing centers, the state has throughout its history been the setting of extraordinary dramas of nature and human perseverance.

          In 1682 Robert Cavelier, sieur de La Salle, claims area for France. Drawing its name from the Sioux Indian word Dakota, meaning “friend” or “ally,” North Dakota has been inhabited almost exclusively by Indians for most of the past 9,000 years. Around 1300 the Mandan established farming communities along the Missouri River. The Hidatsa and Arikara tribes joined them in the mid-17^th century. After the encroachment of whites and other tribes upon their land to the east, the Sioux (sometimes called the Dakota) also began to enter the area in the 17^th century.

          A French-Canadian fur trader named Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, sieur de La Verendrye, was perhaps the first European to visit the region in 1738. Although the United States acquired part of North Dakota with the Louisiflna Purchase of 1803, and Lewis and Clark built Fort Mandan and wintered there during 1804-1805, it was a British subject, the earl of Selkirk, who established North Dakota’s first permanent settlement at Pembina in 1812, when he sponsored several Scottish and Irish farming families. Six years later a treaty with Great Britain granted the United States the remainder of North Dakota, and over the next 71 years the sparsely populated land was; shifted in and out of the jurisdiction of nine different U.S. territories.

          By the time North Dakota entered the Union in 1889 (on the same day as South Dakota), the Sioux Indians had lost their war against the United States, and most of the survivors lived on reservations. The earlier settlers had moved on, but new immigrants from Germany, Norway, and other northern European countries arrived. For the next 25 years, the population boomed.

          In 1915 Nonpartisan League is founded to fight for state control over wheat trade monopolies. In 1929 Seven-year drought begins. In 1932 International Peace Garden is dedicated. In 1951 Oil is discovered near Tioga. In 1956 Garrison Dam on Missouri River begins to produce electric power. In 1968 Garrison Diversion Project is begun to increase state’s water supply. In 1988 Drought kills much of North Dakota’s wheat crop.
