• Bakken, Three Forks largest continuous US oil accumulation

  Oil was first discovered in the Williston basin in the early 1950s and total cumulative oil production to date (January 2014) from the US part of the basin is about 3.6 billion bbl of oil.

North Dakota enjoys numerous productive mineral deposits, along with oil and gas fields and some manufacturing. The New Town Oil Boom is likely to continue on its Native American Reservation for decades, while the entire Bakken Oil Field covers much more land.

However, Agriculture leads the state economy with grain, meat, and dairy products in cites like Fargo, Grand Forks, Minot, and Bismarck. The Missouri and Red rivers are used for irrigation and dam projects offer many jobs.The reforestation of the state has offered still more opportunities for work. Tourism and recreational facilities enjoy high customer traffic near these dams; Tourism has been that state's Number Three highest provider of income, behind

2. Mineral Production and Processing - now at first place with help from the Oil Boom.

As the oil boom continues, Transportation becomes increasingly important in moving oil and natural gas. Truck drivers and mechanics are in high demand. Engineering and Skilled Trades are adding many ore job postings in the mid-2010s as well.

Insurance and Healthcare are also large income producers in North Dakota and offer long term careers. Information Technology (IT) is necessary to nearly all fields of work and sectors of industry in this state.

The Native American nations and bands in North Dakota and to a lesser extent, in South Dakota, control most of the Bakken and Williston oil deposits. The South Dakota Natives have become more active in monitoring traffic across their Federal Reservation as well, since some truckers were permitted to travel without permission or state fees paid, related to the Keystone Pipeline project..

Theodore Roosevelt National Park: Medora, North Dakota; South of Williston.

Theodore Roosevelt began studying wildlife and native plants in childhood and never stopped. When he went to the Dakota Territory in 1883, it was largely to hunt American Bison, but he discovered grand vistas full of wildlife and native plants. It helped lead him to formulate the idea of having national parks in our country. His Maltese Cross Cabin moved around the American West for displays, but was moved finally to this park.

The park named after President Teddy Roosevelt welcomes visitors to wildlife viewing all year long and celebrates the skies with an Astronomy Festival called Dakota Nights.
