North Dakota was not "built". It was established as a US Territory and then became a US state.
Lewis and Clark named the fort they built during their expedition "Fort Mandan." Established in 1804 near present-day Washburn, North Dakota, it served as their winter encampment and was named after the nearby Mandan Native American tribe. The fort was crucial for the explorers, providing shelter and a base for their operations during the winter months.
