Kramer, ND

Kramer is a Bottineau County city founded in 1905, during the second settlement boom that brought new communities to North Dakota. The State Historical Society describes railroads and their business allies as forces that guided northern development, placing Kramer's founding in that wider pattern. Its present civic orientation is countywide: Bottineau County's offices handle property appraisal, land records, exemptions, and zoning for city and rural parcels alike. Kramer remains a named incorporated community within that county system, with its history tied to the settlement networks of the early twentieth-century prairie.
