THE first recorded settlement in North Dakota was made by a French trader, in 1780, at Pembina. Here also the Earl of Selkirk's Scottish colony was established from 1812 to 1823, under a grant from the Hudson Bay Company. When the discovery was made that the settlement was within American jurisdiction, many of the colonists removed northward into Manitoba. Up to 1875 there were fewer than 1,000 whites in North Dakota, but after that time a strong flood of immigration set in favored by the construction of railways.
The centers of population were at Fargo and Bismarck in north Dakota, and Yankton in south Dakota. In early days the diversity of interests led to sharp contests between the two sections, but it finally resulted in the formation of two new States.
Wheat-raising is the chief industry of North Dakota, and several of the "Bonanza" farms of the Red River valley are from 5,000 to 15,000 acres in extent. The famous Dalrymple farm covers 75,000 acres. The active immigration induced by the Canadian Pacific Railway into Manitoba in 1883-84 resulted fortunately for the two neighboring American States. The immigrants found the cost of living very high, and thousands of them drifted southward across the border, where more favorable conditions prevailed, and they soon became permanent citizens of the United States.
