North Dakota - The Roughrider State
- Greetings From
North Dakota - The first Europeans reached
North Dakota in 1738 and Lewis & Clark traveled through the area in
1804. What would become a state in 1889 was sparsely populated
until the late 1800s. Though today, it is the 19th largest state,
it is the 48th most populous, with lots of room to roam. Visit the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Fort Union Trading Post and
Knife River Indian National Historic Sites, 15 state parks, and
dozens of wildlife refuges.
North Dakota is also known as the
"Peace Garden State," the "Flickertail State," and the "Rough
Rider State."
