Williams
County
Williams
County originally referred to an area to the south-east of the present-day
boundaries but the current shape took place when neighbouring Divide
County was created from part of Williams County in 1910.
The county is named for a famous politician and former Mayor of Bismarck.
The county is just over 2,300 square miles in size and has a population of 19,761, according to the last census. The number of inhabitants, which has fallen by around 10% in the last decade, was forecast to decline slightly to just over 19,000 in 2005. As opposed to many of the counties in western North Dakota, the population heyday of Williams County was not in the 1920s or 1930s. The county has experienced a growth in population since its incorporation, with the height being reached in the 1980s, and it is only since then that it has fallen back from its high point.
The county seat of Williams County is Williston, ND, which has retained that title since the foundation of the county.
