General Description |
||||||||||||||||||||
North Dakota is a state located in the Midwestern region of the United States of America; on
the Canadian border halfway
between the Pacific
and Atlantic
oceans. North Dakota is the 19th largest state by area in the U.S.; it is the
3rd least populous, with just over 641,481 residents as of 2008.[4] North
Dakota was carved out of the northern half of the Dakota
Territory and admitted to the Union on November 2, 1889. The Missouri
River flows through the western part of the state and forms Lake
Sakakawea behind the Garrison
Dam. The western half of the state is hilly and contains lignite
coal and oil.
In the east, the Red River forms the Red
River Valley, holding fertile farmland. Agriculture has long
dominated the economy and culture of North Dakota. The state
capital is Bismarck and the largest
city is Fargo. The primary public
universities are located in Grand Forks and Fargo. The United States Air Force
operates bases at both Minot and Grand Forks. |
