North Dakota is located at the Upper Midwest region of the United States. It features rugged badlands, lush woodlands, and lots of water-fed natural attractions. The state features a mix of different cultures in the region, which is pretty apparent in its historic sites and museums. Most of its cities also provide a glimpse into the history and culture of the region.
North Dakota is the fourth least populated and 19th largest state (in terms of land area) in the country. Its largest city, Fargo, is also the most populated, while its capital Bismarck is the second most populous.
The highlight to any trip in this state is definitely the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Named after the 26th president of the United States, the park features tons of hiking and superb scenic drives. Another must-see in this state is the National Buffalo Museum, which features the world's largest bison.
The economy of the state was largely dependent on agriculture and fossil fuels. Today, the service sector is the dominant industry. Agriculture and mining also play a huge role.
