Bismarck is almost a perfect place to raise a family. The public schools are among the best in the country. Crime is at the bottom of the charts. You may not like the temperature extremes—Bismarck's high and low records are 114 degrees and -61 degrees, respectively—or the constant wind, but as the locals say, 'We have 4 full seasons here in North Dakota".

North Dakota Statehood

On March 2, 1861, President James Buchanan signed the bill creating the Dakota Territory, which originally included the area covered today by both Dakotas as well as Montana and Wyoming. The name was taken from that of the Dakota or Sioux Indian Tribe. Beginning about 1877, efforts were made to bring Dakota into the Union as both a single state and as two states. The latter was successful and on November 2, 1889, both North and South Dakota were admitted. Since President Benjamin Harrison went to great lengths to obscure the order in which the statehood proclamations were signed, the exact order in which the two states entered is unknown. However, because of alphabetical position, North Dakota is often considered the 39th state.

Dakota is the Sioux Indian word for "friend".
