Kittson locat ed his fur trading post in 1844. It ts of five acre on the banks of the Red River between Fargo and , to mark the site of the servation set apart in 1853, rombie was the first mil- Nary post in what is now the state , o. North Dakota, The park consists of twelve one-half acres. 3.

Fort Rice State Park. Fort Rice established and built in 1864 by General Alfred Sully as a military x base when on his expedition through ; ¥ the Sioux lands, and attached to this park is an Arikaree village of 6.16 acres purchased by the Historical so- ciety. Pembina State Park, three and tone-half acres, donated by the city | of Pembina is located at the junction of the Red and Pembina rivers on the south side of Pembina. This park marks the site of the first trading post within what is now the | state of North Dakota. The trader Chaboillez established this post in| 1797, 6. Small site for a park across from the Pembina State Park on the north side of the Pembina river; which marks the site of the old stockade built by Alexander Henry in 1801, and | later the site of Fort Pembina in 1863. 7. Cavalier County State Park on Obrien Coulee, one mile west of Iza, donated by J. B. Beauchamp of Iga. This park marks the site of the fight between the buffalo hunters from Canada, the Chippewas and French half breeds on the one side | against the Dakota Sioux on the other in the year 1848. 8. White Stone Hill Battlefield at Monango, Congress granted the state u section of land for park purposes to mark the site of the battle fought between Alfred Sully and the allied Indian tribes on September 3rd, 1863. 9.

Under this plan a corner lot would be assessed no more than an inside lot. The ‘ total bonded indebtedness of the city, aside from school bonds, is $35,000.
