Bowman
County
Like
some neighbours, Bowman
County was created in 1883 but wasn't officially organized until later due
to lack of population, in Bowman's case in 1907.
There is some debate about who it was named after, with some claiming a legislator of that time and some a railroad official - both equally likely in those days.
The county is just under 1,170 square miles in size and has a population of 3,151, according to the last census. The number of inhabitants has declined by around a quarter in the last decade recorded by the census. The highest number of inhabitants recorded in Bowman county was in the 1930s, when around 5,000 people lived there.
The county seat of Bowman County is Bowman, ND, which has retained that title since the foundation of the county.
Bowman is surrounded by Slope County to the north, Adams County to the east, South Dakota to the south and Montana to the west.
