About North Dakota
North Dakota is a landlocked U.S. state in the Upper Midwest, named after the indigenous Dakota and Sioux peoples. It is bordered by the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba to the north and by the U.S. states of Minnesota to the east, South Dakota to the south, and Montana to the west. North Dakota is part of the Great Plains region, characterized by broad prairies, steppe, temperate savanna, badlands, and farmland. North Dakota is the 19th-largest state by area, but with a population of just under 800,000, the fourth-least populous and fourth-least densely populated. The state capital is Bismarck and the most populous city is Fargo, which accounts for nearly a fifth of the state's population; both cities are among the fastest-growing in the U.S., although half of North Dakotans live in rural areas.

In South Dakota, there is a place which was the original center of North America, which was done by drawing two lines, and it is called Snake butt. Really? And they put an obelisk on it and they named it the approximate centre of North America and then in 1930 they changed their minds and decided it was in rugby, North Dakota. It was Snake Butt. A confusing name is.
