即具鄉村風味，也是農業一州的北達科他，境內擁有生產穀類的農田及牛隻牧場。北達科他一字源自於達科他系的蘇族印地安人(Sioux
Indian)，他們早在歐洲人抵達前，就已經定居在這片草原上。而"達科他"即是朋友的意思。第一個造訪達科他地區的白人探險家，是法裔加拿大士兵及毛皮貿易商人，皮爾．高堤耶．瓦倫紐斯(Pierre
Gaultier de Varennes) ，於1738年踏上這塊土地。北達科
他是最後幾個由非美國原住民定居的邊境地區之一，即使到了今天，它仍屬一個人口密度低的州。北達科他的首府是俾斯麥(Bismarck)，它於1889年加入聯邦，成為美國的第39州。北達科塔州的州花是與其相得益彰的野生草原玫瑰。
Both rural and agricultural, with grain farms and cattle ranches, North Dakota gets its name from the Dakota division of the Sioux Indians who lived on the plains before the Europeans arrived. "Dakota" means "friend." French-Canadian soldier and fur trader Pierre Gaultier de Varennes was the first known white explorer to visit the home of the Dakota in 1738. North Dakota was one of the last areas of the frontier to be settled by non-Native Americans, and even today, it's not a highly populated state. North Dakota, whose capital is Bismarck, joined the Union in 1889 as the 39th state. Appropriately, the state flower is the wild prairie rose.
