Williston, ND

Situated in northwest North Dakota near the Montana and Canada borders, you’ll find a true boomtown fueled by a thriving oil and gas industry. But this region is so much more than what lies beneath the surface. The distribution, agriculture and technology sectors are also powering new jobs in the region. Here, you’ll also enjoy vast outdoor recreation opportunities along the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers, a brand-new international airport, numerous development efforts and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Despite the region’s explosive growth, living in Williston, ND means you can still experience small-town charm and a taste of the frontier life. Great amenities await, such as a revitalized downtown, indoor hockey rinks, a curling club and a massive recreation center that features a waterpark, golf simulators and more.
