About Dickinson

Dickinson is a western North Dakota city founded in 1881 and now one of the main service centers between Bismarck and the Montana line. Dickinson State University gives the city an education presence, while energy, agriculture, healthcare, and regional commerce shape the economy. The city also works as a gateway to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Badlands region. Dickinson feels practical and windswept, with a frontier-plains setting and a stronger regional role than its population alone suggests.
