Sometimes we forget our history.
In 1870, 34% of Dakota Territory was foreign born. That wave continued, and by 1915, nearly 80% of North Dakotans were either immigrants or the children of immigrants.
Today, we are seeing similar events in North Dakota. North Dakota is full of economic opportunity, low cost of living, good education, and a family-friendly culture. As a result of our good life, some of our counties are the most rapidly diversifying in America. Our Hispanic population has experienced the most rapid growth rates in the nation.
