In western North Dakota, scenic McKenzie County is home to petrified forests, petroleum deposits, fossils, rolling fields of wheat, prairie grasses, sagebrush, and ragged buttes. This well-established county has a long history and rich heritage, once inhabited by native Arikara, Mandan, and Hidatsa tribes. Then in 1883, the county was formed and named after a North Dakota politician named Alexander McKenzie. However, it wasn’t until 1905 the county became official, and Alexander was named as its seat. Later Schafer became the county seat until 1940, when Watford City became the seat and has been since.
