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 22,398, according to the last census. The number of inhabitants has boomed in the last decade by more than 13%, principally due to the economic development associated with oil extraction in the Bakken formation.
The county seat of Williams County is Williston, ND, which has retained that title since the foundation of the county.
Williams County is surrounded by Divide County to the north, by Burke County and Mountrail County to the east, by McKenzie County to the south and by Montana to the west.
