North Dakota is a state located in the Midwestern region of the United States of America, along the Canadian border, about halfway between the
Pacific Ocean and the Great Lakes. North Dakota is the 19th largest state by area in the U.S. It is also the third least populous, with only
about 646,850 residents as of 2009. North Dakota was carved out of the Dakota Territory and admitted to the Union on November 2, 1889,
simultaneously with South Dakota.
The state capital is Bismarck and the largest city is Fargo. The primary public universities are located in Grand Forks and Fargo.
The U.S. Air Force operates Air Force Bases at Minot AFB and Grand Forks AFB.
North Dakota sits essentially in the middle of North America, and in fact a stone marker in Rugby, North Dakota, identifies itself
as being the "Geographic Center of the North American Continent"
A bill for statehood for North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Washington titled the Enabling Act of 1889 was passed on February 22, 1889
during the administration of Grover Cleveland. After Cleveland left office, it was left to his successor, Benjamin Harrison, to sign
proclamations formally admitting North and South Dakota to the Union on November 2, 1889. The rivalry between the two new states
presented a dilemma of which was to be admitted first. Harrison directed Secretary of State James G. Blaine to shuffle the papers and
obscure from him which he was signing first and the actual order went unrecorded. However, since North Dakota alphabetically appears before
South Dakota, its proclamation was published first in the Statutes At Large. Since that day, it has become common to list the Dakotas
alphabetically and thus North Dakota is usually listed as the 39th state. It is believed that nobody recorded which paper was signed first,
thus nobody can actually know which of the Dakotas was admitted first.
