North Dakota was explored in 1738–1740 by French Canadians led by Sieur de
la Verendrye. In 1803, the U.S. acquired most of North Dakota from France in the
Louisiana Purchase. Lewis and Clark explored the region in 1804–1806, and
the first settlements were made at Pembina in 1812 by Scottish and Irish families
while this area was still in dispute between the U.S. and Great Britain. In 1818,
the U.S. obtained the northeast part of North Dakota by treaty with Great Britain
and took possession of Pembina in 1823. However, the region remained largely unsettled
until the construction of the railroad in the 1870s and 1880s.
