Discover Jamestown
In 1871 a Northern Pacific Railroad work crew set up camp where the new northern transcontinental line would cross the James River. In 1872 the U.S. Army established Fort Seward, a small post of three companies, about 120 men, of the 20th Infantry, on a bluff above the meeting of the James River and Pipestem Creek, to guard the crossing. The town was founded in 1872, and General Thomas Rosser of the Northern Pacific named it after Jamestown, Virginia.
More about Jamestown
In 1873 Stutsman County became the first official county in Dakota Territory, with Jamestown as its county seat. Fort Seward lasted only five years and was decommissioned in 1877, but the railroad stayed and built a repair yard that remained one of the city's main industries until the 1960s. Jamestown was incorporated as a city in 1883. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Jamestown was established on November 10, 1889, and was renamed the Diocese of Fargo on April 6, 1897, when the bishop's seat moved. The Western writer Louis L'Amour was born in Jamestown, and the city is known for its 26-foot sculpture of a bison, the World's Largest Buffalo. Sources Wikipedia: Jamestown, North Dakota
