Ward County, Administrative division in North Dakota, United States
Ward County encompasses 2,056 square miles of terrain with rolling hills, lakes, and agricultural lands in north-central North Dakota, bordering multiple counties.
The county formation occurred on April 14, 1885, named after Mark Ward, with Burlington as the initial county seat before transferring to Minot in 1888.
The county government broadcasts commission meetings through live streams and maintains archived media for residents to monitor local administrative decisions.
The county provides essential services through departments including building inspection, emergency management, highway maintenance, and social services from the central location in Minot.
Three national wildlife refuges, Des Lacs, Hiddenwood, and Upper Souris, contribute to the natural preservation within Ward County borders.
