About Alexander
Set among the rolling hills and buttes of McKenzie County, Alexander offers a quiet, relaxed setting in western North Dakota. The surrounding terrain has plenty of character, with rugged ridges and open skies. Located right along Highway 85, the town sits conveniently between Williston and Watford City, making it an appealing option for anyone who wants a peaceful rural neighborhood within an easy drive of regional jobs, stores, and healthcare.
First established in the early 1900s as a prairie trading hub, Alexander has held onto its friendly, small-town feel. Today, residents enjoy a tight-knit community anchored by a local K-12 school, quiet streets, and community landmarks like the Lewis and Clark Trail Museum. With the Missouri River and the North Dakota Badlands just a short drive away, it is an easy place to settle into if you value outdoor recreation and knowing your neighbors.
