When Europeans reached the territory of present-day North Dakota in the mid-1700s, several peoples were already living in the region. The Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara were settled along the Missouri River; the Ojibwa (locally called Chippewa or Anishinaabe) and Cree resided in the northeast; and various Sioux groups (the Assiniboine, Yankton, Wahpeton, and Teton) inhabited areas in the north, South East, and west.

During the 1930s North Dakota’s farming community was devastated by terrible weather. A great drought parched the land and high winds blew much of the fertile soil away. In 1954 work was completed on the massive Garrison Dam, which was built to produce electricity. During the 1960s the United States government built many air bases and missile sites in North Dakota. Many military sites in the state were closed, however, in the 1990s. In 1997 a damaging flood took place along the Red River of the North.

In 1904 the state hosted a world’s fair called the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. It marked the hundredth anniversary of the purchase. The state remained mostly rural until the early 1940s. During World War II (1939–45) manufacturing grew in the state. This led many people to leave farms and towns for cities. Gradually, manufacturing and service industries became the most important parts of Missouri’s economy.
