North Dakota: A Brief History
Think North Dakota is all flat fields and fly-over country? Think again! This ruggedly beautiful state is where the Great Plains meet the Badlands, offering otherworldly landscapes carved by ancient glaciers. North Dakota’s history is a wild ride from its earliest days to today! Imagine the ground rumbling under the hooves of massive bison herds, as Native American tribes like the Mandan and Hidatsa built thriving villages along the rivers. European explorers arrived later, followed by hardy homesteaders drawn by promises of free land.
North Dakota even has a ranching cowboy named Teddy Roosevelt, who would become President, toughening up in its Badlands. Boom towns sprang up as railroads crossed the prairie, and while known for farming now, oil became a big player too. So, it’s a land of ancient history, wild west adventure, and surprising twists and turns right up to the present day!
