Happy Birthday To The Williston Oil Basin -- April 5, 2021

Happy birthday to the Williston Basin. Seventy years old today. 

Link here. The Williston Herald looks back at 70 years of oil in North Dakota.

In April 1951, the North Dakota landscape changed forever with the discovery of oil. We look back at the discovery through the Herald archive and other sources.

From The Herald, seventy years ago. I would be born some four months later, in a North Dakota city other than Williston, but then moved to Williston two years later.
