Bismarck is the capital of the U.S. state of North Dakota. In 2015, Forbes magazine ranked Bismarck as the seventh fastest-growing small city in the United States.
Bismarck was founded by European Americans in 1872 on the east bank of the Missouri River. It has been North Dakota's capital city since 1889, when the state was created from the Dakota Territory and admitted to the Union.
The North Dakota State Capitol, the tallest building in the state, is in central Bismarck. The state government employs more than 4,000 in the city.
The North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum, located on the Capitol grounds, is the state of North Dakota's official history museum.
The museum displays a gem, mineral, and rock collection and the state fossil collection containing millions of specimens ranging in scale from microscopic shells to huge dinosaur bones.
Other collections include millions of artifacts representing more than 12,000 years of human history from across North Dakota.
The museum is free of charge.
