North Dakota in United States

North Dakota is a U.S. state that is located in the Midwestern and Northern regions of the United States. It is the nineteenth largest in area, the fourth smallest by population, and the fourth most sparsely populated of the 50 United States. North Dakota was admitted as the 39th state to the Union on November 2, 1889. Its capital is Bismarck and its largest city is Fargo.

North Dakota weathered the Great Recession of the early 21st century with a boom in natural resources, particularly a boom in oil extraction from the Bakken formation, which lies beneath the Northwestern part of the state. The development drove strong job and population growth, as well as low unemployment.

North Dakota is known for its sparsely populated rural landscape, its long winters that, on colder days, produce radiant sun dogs, and for being the childhood home of Lawrence Welk.
