Ship History:
LA MOURE COUNTY was named for the City and County of La Moure, North Dakota. Judson La Moure, the city's namesake, was a noted pioneer, businessman and member of the territorial and state legislatures. Located in the southeast portion of the state, settlers began arriving in 1872 with the western advancement of the Northern Pacific Railroad. By 1880 this site became the first organized town in La Moure County, and in 1881 it became the County Seat. With its rich soil and highly mechanized farming, La Moure County is an extremely productive agricultural region. The county produces corn, wheat, oats, rye, flaxseed, cattle, sheep, hogs, and poultry.
