North Dakota (pronunciation: Listeni/ˌnɔːrθ dəˈkoʊtə/;
locally [ˌno̞ɹθ dəˈko̞ɾə]) is the 39th state of the United States, having been
admitted to the union on November 2, 1889.
It is located in the Upper Midwestern region of the United
States, bordered by the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba to the
north, the states of Minnesota to the east, South Dakota to the south, and
Montana to the west.[4] The state capital is Bismarck, and the largest city is
Fargo. North Dakota is the 19th most extensive but the 4th least populous and
the 4th least densely populated of the 50 United States.
North Dakota has weathered the Great Recession of the early
21st century with a boom in natural resources, particularly a boom in oil
extraction from the Bakken formation, which lies beneath the northwestern part
of the state.[5] The development has driven strong job and population growth,
and low unemployment.[6][7]
