In 1804, the region was explored by the Lewis and Clark expedition, at the same time Fort Mandan appeared. In 1812, settlers of Scottish and Irish origin founded another settlement near Pembina. In 1818, the United States bought the northeastern regions of the future state from Great Britain, and the Pembina area passed to the United States in 1823.
In 1861 the Dakota Territory was formed. Land reclamation and the development of large farms began in the 1870s. On November 2, 1889, North Dakota became the 39th state of the country (which received the status of a state on the same day, South Dakota became the 40th).
