Located in the Midwest region of the country, North Dakota is one of the 50 American states. It is limited to the States of Minnesota to the east, South Dakota to the south, Montana to the west, and Canada to the north. Located in North Dakota, the city of Rubgy is considered the geographic center of North America.
After several years under British rule, the region finally came under the control of the United States, which they created in 1858 the territory of Dakota, which comprised the present states of South Dakota, North Dakota and part of the Minnesota. During the 19th century, the region began to develop significantly due to agriculture, encouraged by the construction of many railways. The development caused an increase in population in the region, until on November 2, 1889, the US government created the states of South Dakota and North Dakota.
The state has few forests; which make up only 1% of its territory. Much of its terrain is quite flat, which makes it difficult to form large lakes. Because the state is far from large bodies of water, its climate is very unstable; temperatures vary dramatically. Winters are usually very cold, as the state is located in the far north of the United States, and summers are hot.
Part of its economy is based on agriculture: North Dakota is the largest producer of sunflower seeds and the second largest producer of wheat in the country. Among other important sources of income, we can cite tourism, oil extraction, trade and the provision of government services.
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
