North Dakota has its interesting features, such as the Theodore Roosevelt NP with its rugged landscape and bison herd, the (former) Burning Coal Vein, the Turtle Mountains (only a few hundred feet higher than the surrounding plains, but wooded whereas the plains are not), and the geographic center of North America. I also visited a lignite mine near Beulah. The eastern part of the state is as flat as the Central Valley of California, the High Plains of Texas, and the Delta region of Mississippi, and the soil is even blacker than the Blackland Prairie of Texas. I saw a postcard poking fun at the state (I can't remember if it was in Bottineau or Dickinson) that asked "what are the two best parts of North Dakota?--the eastern and western ends of I-94".
I was forced to do a school report on a state, however we did not get to pick the state and I ended up with North Dakota while other people got states that you know have some meaning. Ever since that report I have had an emotional connection to North Dakota.
I am not from America but I know what you mean. We Indians (the country) also got similar reports and projects in school and I've developed a great level of attachment to the Indian state of Odisha since then.
As a North Dakotan, I can confirm the State nor I actually exist. We are a figment of South Dakotan’s imagination, and are invented to explain the existence of Area 51.
"North Dakota is definitely a state now, which means we can all go back to treating it the way we always have: ignoring it completely". That killed me🤣🤣🤣
"Good news! North Dakota and South Dakota have settled their differences and have combined into one big Dakota, meaning there are now only 49 stars on the flag" *Star falls off of flag*
Can confirm. The richest man in New Town, ND told the oil companies to stop drilling on his land because he had too much money, he didn’t know what to do with it. Also, the Three Affiliated Tribes Reservation is one of the richest, thanks to the Oil on their land. (They bought a YACHT for use on Lake Sakakawea 🤦♀️)

16 and I remember. All it would take for 51st state though would be for a new territory to generate enough capital and it get approved by enough legislators.
Actually, the name of the state is "The People's Democratic Republic of Dakota" Republic Of Dakota is on it's Southern border. (About 25 years ago,I bought a cheap, Chinese-made wireline telephone, that came with a list of US/Canada telephone area codes, full of misspellings). Two lines from that list: "Dakota (Republic of) 605" "Dakota (DPR) 701" 😄
MudkipGaming258 A few years ago, I saw on news that a USA Senator said South Dakota shares a border with Canada. That means South Manitoba is north of South Dakota. Now it is all so clear. Both South Manitoba and Alberta are interested in piping oil to market.
@@joermnyc that was one factor another is that we (the North Dakotans) wanted the capital to be located in present day Bismarck while the south wanted it to be Sioux falls, which added with the fact that both sides strongly disliked each other didnt help either. the North was also connected by rail to the Pacific Northwest and Minneapolis while the south was connect to somewhere else (as a north dakotan i am obligated to only say the bare minimum regarding the inferior dakota) which seperated the the two groups vastly.

Ohio wasn't technically a state until 1953! When Ohio was getting ready to celebrate it's 150th year as a state, it was discovered that back in 1803 during the statehood process, something had been omitted. I believe a special act of congress was passed to make Ohio a state retroactively to 1803.
The power of true administration is when either party realizes they made a mistake because it was much too obtuse only for everything to be made null down the line due to technicalities I love bureaucracy
Well, no. According to Wikipedia: "On February 19, 1803, U.S. President Thomas Jefferson signed an act of Congress that approved Ohio's boundaries and constitution.[55] However, Congress had never passed a formal resolution admitting Ohio as the 17th state. Although no formal resolution of admission was required, when the oversight was discovered in 1953, as Ohio began preparations for celebrating its sesquicentennial, Ohio congressman George H. Bender introduced a bill in Congress to admit Ohio to the Union retroactive to March 1, 1803, the date on which the Ohio General Assembly first convened.[56] At a special session at the old state capital in Chillicothe, the Ohio state legislature approved a new petition for statehood which was delivered to Washington, D.C., on horseback, and approved that August.[56][57][58]" The fact that they sent the petition by horseback should show how seriously they took the issue in the first place.
My uncle was a trucker (Canadian) and was trying to order a shipment of something and have it dropped off in North Dakota, the guy on the other end said we don't deliver to Canada and wouldn't listen to my uncle telling him North Dakota was part of the US, my uncle finally told him to drop it off in Minot (a town in ND) the guy knew Minot was part of the US but not the state of North Dakota.

One thing to add. when the Louisiana purchase came Lewis and Clark spent most of there journey in North Dakota. Also Sakakawea is from there or others call it Sagagawea. So ND was actually has a pretty popular background. And ND was a big part of bonanza farms to get wheat to St. Paul MN back in the day because they needed wheat. Just wanted to give some quick history about ND for people who don’t know much.
And for a time, NDakota was one of two states with two people on US coins. Virginia had Washington and Jefferson ; NoDak had Sacagewa and her son Jean-Baptiste.
Twin Falls is awesome. I discovered this gem on a road trip. That day, I was going from Boise down to the Bonneville Salt Flats, and my GPD took me south by way of Twin Falls. Had no idea what to expect. All of a sudden I am just crossing this incredible bridge over a gorgeous and deep canyon-- with golf courses inside lol. Stuck around for a few hours to check out Shoshone Falls and the bridge and the canyon overlooks before moving on. I wish I had been more aware of it before; I would have scheduled a night's stay there.

Well... that would have required Lincoln and the United States to recognize Virginia and the rest of the Confederacy as an actual country, but they didn’t. They always maintained that the Confederate States were always still part of the Union, thus requiring Virginia to make that vote, which they did not.

How did I have to dig down this far in the comments to find this. It's like saying our congress is made out of the House of Representatives and the Senator
ND is actually really important they started the shale oil boom(along with Texas), and ALL the pipelines and rail tracks from Alberta go through ND, so this state is definitely punching above it's weight class.
Interesting side note. A while back I ran for and was elected Township Supervisor in Carrollton Township Michigan. I had to take the oath of office prior to taking my position on the Township Board. The last part of my oath was "to the best of my ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America". I always found that interesting.
I used to live in North Dakota. If you want a review, the weather is very Canadian except it actually gets hot in the summer. It’s very boring, there’s barely any urban areas at all. It’s still a good place to live though, 4.95 out of 5 stars.
Fun fact: When the Dakotas were being admitted into the union by Benjamin Harrison,he mixed up the documents the day he signed them,so now nobody knows which state is older. Edit: Yeah I mixed up FDR with BH. Sorry. I fixed it.
I first learned about Dakota when I was a kid. One of the videos we had in our home was of the Disney musical called The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band. I grew to want to visit the Dakota's because of one of the songs in that movie. My mom instilled in me a love of old Disney musicals. I'm in my 40's and I still have not visited either Dakota.

We are faster growing and projected to take over SD due to its *weak economy*, and we got a good football team. Those are the traits required to be recognized as good, yes?

Top 3 wet dreams of all Americans: 1: North Dakota not becoming a State in 2012. 2: Florida ceasing to exist. 3: California drifting off of the mainland and becoming an island.
nah just cede anything south of Sacramento and west of I5 to Mexico keeping a 1000 year lease on our military bases. I told something of that effect to my buddy who grew up in Mexico and he said "nah man they would ruin home" so Southern California even Mexico doesn't want you. Might as well make the state of Jefferson a thing at that point as well. And while we are at it split Oregon and Washington down the crest of the Cascades and rearrange them in to two states running North to South with the western state being something like New Pacifica, and the Eastern State being Liberty. It would do a lot to improve self determination in the Pacific Northwest. Might as well give Hawaii the option to leave as well at that point considering the whole pineapple company coup that went on there at one point so its more than fair to see if they want to split off. As far as Florida goes all we have to do is wait a bit and let climate change do its thing.
Number 3 would be cause for celebration greater than any celebration before. If Arizona and Nevada could have coastline, we could just permanently kick California out of the union and fix everything.
I got a chance to spend a day with my state representative a while back, saw that in the the video and "Wait a second, ive been there, that is the Oregon State Senate chamber" immediately popped in my head out of nowhere. Honestly a beautiful room, especially in person.
A similar thing happened with Ohio and I think some portion of Maine's statehood. The actual order of when all the states actually and technically became states is somewhat different than the "official" order you read in Wikipedia. All the states are now states on paper, but a few of them have quietly slipped in the door in the just the last 20 years or so. I'm looking at you Ohio.
as a north dakotan, ow but also, some fun facts! Dot's Pretzels were manufactured in Velva, North Dakota We hold some of the most B-52s alongside Louisiana We hold the Norsk Hostfest every year, which is a Scandinavian festival The tallest building is our state capitol, which a rumor states theres a law preventing any other building being taller It is illegal to set off fireworks past midnight in city limits, which counteracts the firework show in the Grand Stand of Minot, North Dakota.

The whole reason it's called "Half as Interesting" is the videos here are generally half the length of Wendover Productions videos.
Shockwave 167 I literally did say “this may be sarcasm”. I understood this could be a wooosh. However, I decided to reply in case someone was actually confused, whether it be the person who wrote this comment, or someone who sees it.
0:09 Bruh that shots like 98% Moorhead Minnesota and 2% Fargo North Dakota lol.
Good vid though👌
just like fargo the movie and tv show
*laughs in Minnesotan*
One thing to add. when the Louisiana purchase came Lewis and Clark spent most of there journey in North Dakota. Also Sakakawea is from there or others call it Sagagawea. So ND was actually has a pretty popular background. And ND was a big part of bonanza farms to get wheat to St. Paul MN back in the day because they needed wheat. Just wanted to give some quick history about ND for people who don’t know much.
And for a time, NDakota was one of two states with two people on US coins. Virginia had Washington and Jefferson ; NoDak had Sacagewa and her son Jean-Baptiste.
Bill Maher: There are more people in California named Dakota, than the population of Dakotas

“I live in North Dakota!”
“That place doesn’t exist yet.”
Twin Falls is awesome. I discovered this gem on a road trip. That day, I was going from Boise down to the Bonneville Salt Flats, and my GPD took me south by way of Twin Falls. Had no idea what to expect. All of a sudden I am just crossing this incredible bridge over a gorgeous and deep canyon-- with golf courses inside lol. Stuck around for a few hours to check out Shoshone Falls and the bridge and the canyon overlooks before moving on. I wish I had been more aware of it before; I would have scheduled a night's stay there.
Hey man it’s really weird you just came up to me on the street and demand that I tell you a fact about North Dakota
Yes, but you could end up on a TH-cam video.
Lolololololololololololooplololololololooool lolol I'll ok l ok loll LP lol LL olilllplololollsfslsd

The most impressive part of this video is that "North Dakota Historian" is a title
Hey guys, use a Web Mercator projection on your maps. It helps avoid that smushed look. Other than that, love the channel!

Ah I see. Sadly my only response is this is a case of until lions hunts the man, history will be written by the man. Or however the Swahili proverb goes.
@Yosef Aryeh Kahan West Virginia Best Virginia
Yosef Aryeh Kahan therefore the ends are justified since the union had won. In those eyes it truly could
Be written off as “legitimate Virginia”. Idk man civil war and ends to justify means gets messy. World is not black n white but centuries of gray tones making a picture
Well... that would have required Lincoln and the United States to recognize Virginia and the rest of the Confederacy as an actual country, but they didn’t. They always maintained that the Confederate States were always still part of the Union, thus requiring Virginia to make that vote, which they did not.
As someone from North Dakota I appreciate finally being acknowledged
Whoever finds your B-roll stuff needs a raise, they are killing it lately haha
I would love to know how you pick your topics. Your whole process. A Wendover Productions video about the logistics of running Wendover Productions
Jokes on you, this is Half as Interesting >:)
I think you've outdone yourself with the stock footage this time
Your segways into skill share are always on point!

The most notable thing about North Dakota is that they have the tallest structure in the Western Hemisphere
A radio tower
Let's prove him wrong and have a structured debate about whether we can have a structured debate in a youtube comments section.

Pineapple pizza is delicious, when on Hawaiian style pizza, as I always have it. Everyone I know loves it, and I know a lot of people.
Me, a North Dakotan: **sees this video.**
Also me: ... wat?
Me too I live near Fargo
Fun fact. UND was established in 1883, six years before North Dakota thought it became a state.
Every UND tour guide ever ^
For the love of God there’s a difference between the word legislator and legislature
In both meaning and pronunciation! Please, oh please take a second to review your script and know what words mean and how they are supposed to be pronounced! I've heard him do this same incorrect pronunciation in another video.
How did I have to dig down this far in the comments to find this. It's like saying our congress is made out of the House of Representatives and the Senator
@Art Anson Did you watch the video? It's covering a potential technicality. Everyone knows North Dakota has been *de facto* a State this whole time
@Art Anson so who asked?
Just give it the ad revenue so it can go get some more energy drink and vape juice.
More people have watched this video than there are people living in North Dakota
ND is actually really important they started the shale oil boom(along with Texas), and ALL the pipelines and rail tracks from Alberta go through ND, so this state is definitely punching above it's weight class.
I'm not sure if it's still true or not, but it was the only state making money for a while, all the others were making more debt
Interesting side note. A while back I ran for and was elected Township Supervisor in Carrollton Township Michigan. I had to take the oath of office prior to taking my position on the Township Board. The last part of my oath was "to the best of my ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America". I always found that interesting.
I used to live in North Dakota. If you want a review, the weather is very Canadian except it actually gets hot in the summer. It’s very boring, there’s barely any urban areas at all. It’s still a good place to live though, 4.95 out of 5 stars.
North Dakota is where Lawrence Welk and Angie Dickinson came from and it shares an "International Peace Garden" with Canada.
@@stevenmaginnis1965 it’s been a year you didn’t have to reply
I briefly lived in north Dakota when I was a very young child. I remember snow, and a lot of driving. That's pretty much it.
Keep pushing that story, we like it here
that's probably because you were a young kid
Fun fact: When the Dakotas were being admitted into the union by Benjamin Harrison,he mixed up the documents the day he signed them,so now nobody knows which state is older.
Edit: Yeah I mixed up FDR with BH. Sorry. I fixed it.
No? North Dakota Became A State In 1889, FDR Would Have Been 7 At The Time
@@Endiepup FDR was a time traveler
@random stuff You're mistaking FDR for Benjamin Harrison
Unfortunately, the opening video was mostly of Moorhead, MN on the left, with a little bit of Fargo, ND on the right.
3:44 Sam you said "See," instead of "You see,". As a Wendover viewer and Extremities listener, I found this very jarring!
Finally someone brave enough to take a swipe at Taco Bell! I hope you have a top notch security detail.
I first learned about Dakota when I was a kid. One of the videos we had in our home was of the Disney musical called The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band. I grew to want to visit the Dakota's because of one of the songs in that movie. My mom instilled in me a love of old Disney musicals. I'm in my 40's and I still have not visited either Dakota.
After watching this, I finally came up with what this has to do with planes. North Dakota is the ultimate Flyover-State.
World's busiest airport 2020 -- GFK International
Refueled the plane with the NYC Director of Emergency Management -- 9.11.2001 (out of GF Air Force Base)
4:20 Gotta love his definition of 'repugnant' !!
Taco Bell = repugnant !
Or, as I sometimes call it...
" Taco 'Hell' " !
He’s obviously never eaten at 7-11
Your videos always make me laugh, or well..almost always, but definitely tends towards always, at least most of the time. 😊
"stupid auto cat rectal!!!!"
Matthew Stinar what
I remember about 30 years ago North Dakota wanted to change its name to Dakota. But I never heard anything afterwards. Obviously they didn't but I wonder if there was a vote and it didn't pass.
The best part of this guy's video is always the ad. Like, he finds the weirdest way to connect the ads to his content.
Taking 17 years to have the governor take an oath is the perfect description of any congress's efficiency lol
North dakota wasn't a state until 2012
People in North dakota in 2011 :
Ja this is canada.
No, it was part of Saskatchewan. I dare you to pronounce that properly! ;P
Oh, you think you're funny, huh? Did you know that ND (if it was its own country) would be the third largest nuclear power? Hmm????

@@ToddSauve I live there...
My late grandmother traveled around the continental USA in the 1960s by bus tours and the only state she missed was North Dakota.
1:35 i love that stock footage “argument” lol no ones that passionate about North Dakota
They're South Dakotans arguing on the best way to enslave North Dakota
One of its television stations ended up getting moved across the border to Winnipeg.
Was that the CBC? You can have the wretchedly liberal-biased thing back! Said as a Western Canadian ...
@@ToddSauve No. That was KCND-TV Channel 12 in Pembina, which in the 70's, became CKND-TV Channel 9 in Winnipeg.
There is something deeply poetic and somewhat heart-rending about stock videos. Like the guy at 1:46, constantly being in an antithetical state towards whatever the youtuber in question has set him to argue about.
North Dakota noteworthy places:
- Minot Airbase
- Minuteman missile sites
Hey, don't forget about the Geographical Center of North America in Rugby.
(and the peace gardens)
(and the giant turtle made entirely of tire rims)
I could go on and on...
@@TrevorSmithy worlds tallest tower
most efficient government building
My coworkers that just came up from Arizona thought I was bullshitting when i said there was a missile silo 500 yards away from us in the shop haha
Don't forget I'm pretty sure Grand Forks Air Force Base was mentioned in the movie WarGames.
"North Dakota. Look, we know."
I’ve been to 45+ states between being a military brat, going on vacations, and being in a couple of touring bands for a while... one of the few states not on my list, you guessed it, North Dakota. Never been, despite hitting up MT, SD, & MN at different times.
must not be USAF -- Grand Forks, Minot
"North Dakota is the best and truest Dakota!"
🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵

We are faster growing and projected to take over SD due to its *weak economy*, and we got a good football team. Those are the traits required to be recognized as good, yes?
Because it has the best leader, Kim John Un
But youI dont happen to see a national monument anywhere Notth Dakota do you?
Snakefishin Yikes they’re growing at the same rate 🤭
Snakefishin At least South Dakota has a widely known national monument.
When you have too much stock footage lying around...
Apparently not because they keep using the lawyer gently picking up and tapping hammer thing on his desk then putting it back and i recognize it every damn time
Born and raised in in north dakota and the end part "completely ignoring" or something like that. Is spot on and hilarious.
Smh, everyone knows that the reason North Dakota wasn’t a state until 2012 is because it didnt take that skill share course.
Lmao
Spoiler: It was part of Canada
yes obama bought North Dakota from Canada
@@capturethesky7199 Well, in 1867 Montana wanted to leave the US and join Canada. True!
As a South Dakotan, this is awesome. North Dakota is just a few minutes older than SD, so the fact it didn’t exist is nice.
Top 3 wet dreams of all Americans:
1: North Dakota not becoming a State in 2012.
2: Florida ceasing to exist.
3: California drifting off of the mainland and becoming an island.
nah just cede anything south of Sacramento and west of I5 to Mexico keeping a 1000 year lease on our military bases. I told something of that effect to my buddy who grew up in Mexico and he said "nah man they would ruin home" so Southern California even Mexico doesn't want you. Might as well make the state of Jefferson a thing at that point as well. And while we are at it split Oregon and Washington down the crest of the Cascades and rearrange them in to two states running North to South with the western state being something like New Pacifica, and the Eastern State being Liberty. It would do a lot to improve self determination in the Pacific Northwest. Might as well give Hawaii the option to leave as well at that point considering the whole pineapple company coup that went on there at one point so its more than fair to see if they want to split off. As far as Florida goes all we have to do is wait a bit and let climate change do its thing.
nah..Number 3 is false
Number 3 would be cause for celebration greater than any celebration before. If Arizona and Nevada could have coastline, we could just permanently kick California out of the union and fix everything.
I wish California was independent, the are slightly less dumb than the other americans
@@Skeloperch all democrats would not like 3 lol. They would lose every election
Wait so Sheen was right when he said north dakota didn't exist?
Masterful transition into the sponsorship ad. 🤣
Shoutout to the Oregon House of Representatives chamber at 2:48
I got a chance to spend a day with my state representative a while back, saw that in the the video and "Wait a second, ive been there, that is the Oregon State Senate chamber" immediately popped in my head out of nowhere. Honestly a beautiful room, especially in person.
I’m older than a state, I feel so powerful.
Wow. What an introduction to skillshare. Best part of the video
A similar thing happened with Ohio and I think some portion of Maine's statehood. The actual order of when all the states actually and technically became states is somewhat different than the "official" order you read in Wikipedia. All the states are now states on paper, but a few of them have quietly slipped in the door in the just the last 20 years or so. I'm looking at you Ohio.
Well, to be fair, 1953 wasn't exactly in the last 20 years
"Something I call repugnant might be something someone else calls Taco Bell" PMSL
as a north dakotan, ow
but also, some fun facts!
Dot's Pretzels were manufactured in Velva, North Dakota
We hold some of the most B-52s alongside Louisiana
We hold the Norsk Hostfest every year, which is a Scandinavian festival
The tallest building is our state capitol, which a rumor states theres a law preventing any other building being taller
It is illegal to set off fireworks past midnight in city limits, which counteracts the firework show in the Grand Stand of Minot, North Dakota. The show starts at 10, and ends around 10:30
North Dakota held lots of the United States' nuclear missile silos, making us Ground Zero if WW3 ever happened. How's that for loyalty? [edited for misplaced apostrophe]
we also have one of the highest per capita amount of active military
