Williams County Summary
Williams County is located in the northwestern corner of North Dakota, and is bordered by Montana to the west and Canada to the north. The county seat is Williston, and the county is named after Erastus Appelman Williams, a former North Dakota state legislator. As of the 2010 census, the population of Williams County was 22,398, making it the sixth most populous county in the state.
History
The area that is now Williams County was first inhabited by the Mandan and Hidatsa Native American tribes. The first Europeans to explore the area were French fur traders, who arrived in the late 1700s. The area was part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, and was part of the Dakota Territory until 1889, when North Dakota became a state.
The first permanent settlers in the area were homesteaders, who arrived in the late 1800s. The first town in the county was Williston, which was founded in 1887. The town was named after Daniel Willis James, a railroad official. The county was officially organized in 1891, and the county seat was established in Williston.
The county experienced a population boom in the early 1900s, as homesteaders and immigrants moved to the area to take advantage of the fertile soil and abundant natural resources. The county also experienced a boom in the 1950s, when the discovery of oil in the area led to an influx of workers and businesses.
