Collection Historical Note

McHenry County, North Dakota organized and chose its first board of commissioners on November 8, 1884. The first courthouse was a log cabin in Scripton. In 1886, the board moved the county seat to Towner. One of the board's early acts was to establish school districts. Initially there were four organized districts. By the late 1920s, when Roosevelt schoolhouses numbers one and two were sold, there were 59 school districts within the county. McHenry County; Its History and Its People compiled by Corabelle Brown served as source of historical information.
