Sargent County, Administrative county in southeastern North Dakota, United States
Description
Sargent County is an administrative county in southeastern North Dakota that covers agricultural land between the James River and Red River valleys. The landscape includes numerous lakes and glacial hills formed during the last ice age.
History
The county was established in 1883 as part of territorial expansion, taking its name from Homer E. Sargent, a railroad company manager. Its creation reflected the broader settlement patterns that followed rail development across the northern plains.
Culture
Norwegian and German settlers shaped the character of communities here, leaving traces in local traditions and how people observe their heritage. Visitors can see this influence reflected in architecture and the way residents maintain old customs.
Practical
The county courthouse in Forman serves as the main administrative hub and is accessible during normal business hours. Visitors seeking county services or local information will find the courthouse to be the central point of contact.
Did you know?
A church built here in the early 1900s was carefully dismantled and shipped to Norway nearly a century later, where it was rebuilt and continues to stand. This extraordinary journey highlights the deep ties that settlers maintained with their ancestral homeland.
