About Bismarck

Bismarck is the capital of North Dakota and sits on the east bank of the Missouri River in the south-central part of the state. The city was named after Otto von Bismarck, the German chancellor, in an effort to attract German investment and settlers to the region. Bismarck became the state capital in 1889, when North Dakota entered the Union. The city is a center of state government and the energy industry, reflecting the importance of oil and coal to the regional economy. Its Lewis and Clark history, riverside trails, and prairie landscapes make Bismarck a meaningful stop for visitors exploring the Northern Plains. The city's downtown features a mix of historic buildings and modern government offices, and the nearby Missouri River offers boating and fishing. The North Dakota State Capitol, an Art Deco tower, stands out on the Plains skyline.
