1. Pioneer Monument
Erected in 1954 by the Bottineau County Old Settler’s Association and friends, as a memorial to our pioneer settlers who met the toil, trials, hazards and wants of life; who broke the sod with oxen or horses; built their homes of sod or logs as a prelude to our present day fine homes, schools, churches, hospitals and business establishments, envisioned by their industry and foresight as a blessing to the present and future generations.
Erected 1954 by Bottineau County Old Settler's Association and Friends.

In(Submitted on August 31, 2023, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)1882 there were not a dozen settlers in the county. Three years later there were 818, and the Great Northern road was soon afterwards extended to Bottineau. Bottineau County was organized March 13, 1884, by the appointment by the governor of William F. Simerall, Albert C. Barnes and Lorenzo D. Dana county commissioners. Then but 120 acres of land had been entered and the total wheat product of the county was but 8,016 bushels, but two years later the wheat crop was 149,079 bushels. The county early devoted attention to stock and in 1885 had sheep producing 2,554 pounds of wool. It then had nearly two thousand head of cattle.
