Golden Valley County, County in Beach, North Dakota
Golden Valley County spans 2,596 square kilometers across western North Dakota, featuring semi-arid hills and agricultural lands intersected by Beaver Creek and Little Missouri River.
The county gained independence from Billings County through a contested election in 1912, requiring intervention from the North Dakota Supreme Court to validate its formation.
The predominantly agricultural community maintains strong connections to farming traditions, with many residents actively participating in land cultivation and livestock management.
Interstate 94 and North Dakota Highway 16 provide primary transportation routes through the county, connecting the administrative center of Beach with neighboring regions.
The name originated in 1902 when land surveyors observed the distinct golden color of prairie grasses under direct sunlight.
