Welcome to North Dakota
 Introduction
North Dakota is a Midwestern state in the United States known as the, “Peace Garden State.” North Dakota became the 39th state in 1889. The Missouri River flows through the western part of the state and forms Lake Sakakawea behind the Garrison Dam. The state capital is Bismarck and the largest city in the state is Fargo. Per capita personal income in 2005 was $31 395, 32nd in the nation. North Dakota leads the nation in production of several crops. Agricultural activity is largely dependent on rainfall. Wheat, barley, canola, soybeans, sunflowers, and flax are present throughout the state. Cattle ranches are more common in the dry southwest, though dairy ranches are more common toward the east. Honey is produced in the central part of the state. Small quantities of juneberries and grapes support a modest domestic winery industry.
