Large white beans were grown for hundreds of years by the by the Mandan, Arikara, and Hidatsa people of what is now North Dakota.
Oscar H. Will (1855-1917) came to North Dakota in the spring of 1881 and was employed at Fuller Green House in Bismarck. He purchased the Fuller Green House on July 1, 1884, and also started a nursery and seed business. He soon started his experiments with native local plants. The seed company was first called Pioneer Seed House in 1897 and then Oscar H. Will & Company. Will's seeds served farmers and gardeners around the world for more than 75 years, reaching customers through a colorful, informative annual mail-order catalog, which had a circulation of 1,000 in 1881. In 1883, Son of a Star, a Hidatsa man living at the Fort Berhold Revervation, gave Will a pouch of beans. From that pouch, Will selected beans that he bred over the next three years, developing what he named the Great Northern bean. He introduced it in 1896, and it became his company's most famous introduction. By 1917, Will's seed catalog had a circulation of 120,000.
