A Message from the Mayor
Arlyn Van Beek, Mandan |
As Mayor of the wonderful city of Bismarck, I invite you to explore the wealth that we have to offer. We are a growing community, and much of our success derives from a network of contributors.
Bismarck takes great pride in the importance of sound economic development, and the impact it creates toward business. With Bismarck being the capital city and the center of state government in North Dakota, thousands of people gather to enhance the excellence of business statewide.
Our cultural and social attractions, restaurants and shopping areas that serve our community are extremely enjoyable.
Bismarck is a city of many values and I invite you to explore those values that we are so proud of!

Mandan is a city rich in ‘Old West” history which includes deep roots of Native American influence as well as some of the more colorful characters in western history.
Ever since the railroad crossed the Missouri, Mandan has been receptive to sound economic development practices. Our commitment has been to be receptive to companies, entrepreneurs, healthcare and educational opportunities that assist Mandan in maintaining its own unique, vibrant personality.
Mandan is city of people with pride in their work ethic and family values. We invite you to come and take a look. The future is bright for us with the citizens of our community ready and willing to share available opportunities.
