Graph of Williston, ND Hotel Prices for Next 20 Days

Rates shown are nightly rates before taxes and do not necessarily reflect all Williston, ND discounts available. The chart reflects the cheapest Williston hotel for each day and each star rating category.

Situated near the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers, Williston is the seat of Williams County. The city has a rich history that dates to the early 19th century. During the summer of 1806, explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark passed through the site of the Williston basin on their way west in an attempt to find a water route to the Pacific Ocean.

The area around Williston was first settled in 1828 when Fort Union, the main post of the American Fur Company, was built near the mouth of the Yellowstone River. In 1866, Fort Union was demolished and its building materials were transported down the river for the construction of Fort Buford. This military post was abandoned in 1895. When the Great Northern Railroad arrived in 1887, the settlement was named “Williston,” in honor of Daniel Willis James, a friend of the founder of the railroad company. Williston was incorporated as a town three years later.

During its early years, Williston was mostly an agricultural community. However, its economy became more diversified following the availability of more affordable electricity during the 1920s. Soon, Williston became home to a creamery, bottling company, and telephone company. The town continued to experience slow growth until the late 1970s when an oil boom caused the population to increase to more than 20,000.

Currently, Williston has a population of about 25,000 and a total area of 7.5 square miles. Williston is now one of the fastest growing small cities in the country.

What are the most popular attractions around Williston, ND?

You can start exploring Williston with a tour of Fort Buford State Historic Site, which contains remnants of an important frontier military post. Constructed in 1866, Fort Buford served as a supply depot for military operations and provided protection for immigrants settling in the area. Fort Buford is best remembered as the site where famous Sioux chief Sitting Bull surrendered in the late 19th century. Original features of the fort that are still standing today include the cemetery site, a stone powder magazine, and the officers' quarters building, which has been turned into a museum.

Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site is another must-see attraction for history buffs. This attraction features a partially reconstructed site that reveals what Fort Union may have looked like during the 1850s. Established in 1828, the fort played an important role in the developing fur trade in Montana. Here, Native American tribes of the Northern Plains traded buffalo robes and smaller furs for a range of products from around the world, such as cloth, blankets, beads, and guns. Fort Union is one of the first sites in the United States to be declared a National Historic Landmark.
