Bismarck is the capital of the U.S. state of North Dakota and the county seat of Burleigh County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 It is the second most populous city in North Dakota after Fargo. The city's population was 61,272 at the 2010 census, while its metropolitan population was 126,597. In 2014, ''Forbes'' magazine ranked Bismarck as the seventh fastest-growing small city in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.census.gov/popest/data/metro/totals/2013/index.html )〕 Bismarck was founded in 1872 and has been North Dakota's capital city since the State was created from Dakota Territory and admitted to the Union in 1889. Bismarck is on the east bank of the Missouri River, directly across the river from Mandan. The two cities make up the core of the Bismarck-Mandan Metropolitan Statistical Area. The North Dakota State Capitol, the tallest building in the state, is in central Bismarck. The state government employs more than 4,000 in the city. As a hub of retail and health care, Bismarck is the economic center of south-central North Dakota and north-central South Dakota. ==History== (詳細はMandan Native American tribe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PBS Online - Lewis and Clark: Native Americans )〕 The Hidatsa name of Bismarck is ''mirahacii arumaaguash'' ("Place of the tall willows"); the Arikara name is ''ituhtaáwe ().'' In 1872 the future capital city was founded at what was then called Missouri Crossing, so named because the Lewis and Clark Expedition crossed the river there. The new town was called Edwinton, after Edwin Ferry Johnson (1803–1872), engineer-in-chief for the Northern Pacific Railway. In 1873, however, the Northern Pacific Railway renamed the city Bismarck, in honor of German chancellor Otto von Bismarck, in hopes of attracting German settlers to the area and German investment in the railroad. The discovery of gold in the nearby Black Hills the following year was the real impetus for growth. Bismarck became a freight-shipping center on the "Custer Route" from the Black Hills.〔 In 1883 Bismarck became the capital of the Dakota Territory, and in 1889 the state capital of North Dakota. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bismarck, North Dakota」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
