Richland County, County in southeastern North Dakota, United States
Richland County is an administrative division in southeastern North Dakota with flat terrain interrupted by gentle hills in certain sections. Two major rivers run through the county and shape much of the natural landscape.
The county was established in 1873 by the Dakota Territory legislature and named after Morgan T. Rich, an early settler in the area. The region developed around the community of Wahpeton.
The county shows farming traditions through regular exhibitions and gatherings that connect different generations of residents and shape rural life today.
The county is accessible via two major highways that link it to surrounding communities and allow easy travel throughout the area. The warmer months offer the best conditions for exploring the natural features of the region.
The area is shaped by two rivers that meet within its borders and create natural routes for wildlife and recreational activities. These waterways regularly draw visitors who want to explore nature.
