About Mandan, North Dakota

Mandan is a city of 24,206 people in Morton County, on the west bank of the Missouri River across from Bismarck. Its name comes from the Mandan people, whose village at the foot of Crying Hill, in today's east Mandan, was on record by 1738. They called it Good Fur Robe for their chief, and it was one of six Mandan villages between the Knife and Cannonball Rivers.

In 1872 the Northern Pacific Railroad said it would cross the river here, but the bridge was delayed for years. A work camp with its own post office finally went up on the west bank in December 1878. On March 3, 1879, the post office moved to the railroad's townsite near the first depot, and a new postmaster, Charles Cushman, soon gave it his own name. It became Mandan again that September, and the city was incorporated on February 24, 1881, the same year it became the county seat.

  • Fort McKeen on the bluffsTo guard the coming railroad and the settlers expected to follow it, the Army built an infantry post called Fort McKeen on the bluffs where the Heart River meets the Missouri. In 1873 Congress added a cavalry post and renamed it Fort Abraham Lincoln. Once the railroad reached Montana in 1881 the fort slowly lost its purpose. It closed in 1892, was abandoned in 1893 and is now Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park.
  • Who named Mandan?John Andrew Rea, a Bismarck newspaper editor and land office register, said he and Northern Pacific engineer Thomas L. Rosser thought up the name and that he made it popular through the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Most people credit Frederic Gerard instead. Gerard had run the Fort Berthold trading post, became Morton County's first assessor in 1878 and was one of its first three county commissioners.
  • Steamboats at Rock HavenBellows Landing, on the Missouri near Mandan, sold fuel to steamboats and kept an icehouse, and records show it in use as early as 1832. The government took it over in the late 1870s and renamed it Rock Haven. The Army Corps of Engineers added a dry dock and repair shops, and the landing supplied the Army's frontier forts. It closed in 1934.
