County
Golden
Valley
County was created at the relatively late time of 1912, when it was separated
from its neighbouring Billings County after a referendum.
The name was seen at the time as more of a marketing tactic than a descriptive term (most of the county is actually located on a high plateau) and also matched the name of a major livestock company in the region.
The county is just over 1,000 square miles in size and has a population of 1,924, according to the last census. The number of inhabitants, which has fallen by more than 20% since 1980, was forecast to decline further to just over 1,700 in 2005. The local website for the county seat, however, estimates the current population at just over 2,000.
The highest population in Golden Valley county was measured in 1920, when over 4,800 people lived here. The county seat of Golden Valley County is Beach, ND, which was given that position on creation of the county.
