Manage episode 341450781 series 3003280
Welcome to New Town, North Dakota, the "Heart of Lake Sakakawea!" New Town is located in Montrail County and sits on lands belonging to the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nations, also known as the Three Affiliated Tribes, and is part of the federal reservation system. Although the town's population was only 2,764 in the 2020 census, it is the 18th largest city in North Dakota. The town was established in 1950 as the result of the Garrison Dam and Sakakawea Reservoir project that forced the relocation of the residents of a number of small towns in the area. The Garrison Dam was world's largest earth filled dam at the time. The Sakakawea reservoir was the second largest reservoir measuring 200 miles long and 14 miles wide in places. New Town is home to the Three Affiliated Tribes Museum which serves as a heritage center to display and preserve the heritage of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara people. The town is also a great location for outdoor sports including fishing, boating, water skiing, and hiking. We hope you enjoy our visit to New Town!
