History

The Dakota Territory legislature created Ransom County on 4 January 1873. It was so named due to its military fort, which had been named for Civil War veteran Major General Thomas E.G. Ransom. The fort had operated between 1867 and 1872. The county was nor organized at that time, nor was it attached to another county for administrative or judicial purposes. Its proposed boundaries were altered two times during 1881. On 4 April 1881 the county government was effected. The county's area was again reduced in 1883 when Sargent County was created. Ransom County has retained its present configuration since that time.[3][4]

Geography

The Sheyenne River meanders through Ransom County. The county terrain consists of rolling hills, dotted with lakes and ponds in its western part. The area is largely devoted to agriculture.[5] The terrain slopes to the east and south; its highest point is on the north boundary line near its NW corner, at 1,421' (433m) ASL.[6] The county has a total area of {{convert|864|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|862|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|1.4|sqmi}} (0.2%) is water.[7]
