Jamestown: Buffalo City on the James River
Jamestown lies roughly halfway between Fargo and Bismarck along Interstate 94, in the James River valley of east-central North Dakota. Founded in 1872 as a Northern Pacific Railroad town, it takes its name from the river, which in turn was named after King James I. The population hovers around 15,000, making Jamestown one of the smaller county seats in the state, but it holds a distinctive position in North Dakota identity thanks to its focus on bison.
The World's Largest Buffalo Monument, a 26-foot-tall concrete sculpture completed in 1959, stands in Frontier Village on the hill overlooking the interstate. The adjacent National Buffalo Museum houses exhibits on the history, biology, and cultural significance of the American bison, and maintains a live herd that includes rare white buffalo. Jamestown also hosts the University of Jamestown, a private institution of roughly 1,100 students, and served as the site of the first hospital and first newspaper in Dakota Territory.
