About

Mandan, North Dakota, situated on the west bank of the Missouri River directly across from the state capital, Bismarck, is a city rich in history and community spirit. Founded in 1879 and named after the Mandan Native American tribe who historically inhabited the area, it serves as the county seat of Morton County. The city's development was closely tied to the Northern Pacific Railway, and it continues to be an important agricultural and railroad center. Today, Mandan's economy also benefits from oil, gas, and coal production, alongside healthcare and business services. Embracing its motto "Where the West Begins," Mandan offers residents and visitors recreational opportunities along the Missouri River, numerous parks, and access to nearby historical sites like Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park, which features reconstructed earth lodges of a Mandan village and Custer's historic house.
