A super rare and short-lived bank with an outstanding tradesmen's title of Live Stock National Bank. This is the only confirmed example from this town but there is also rumor of a very low grade. The bank was chartered in April 1920, issued 1,536 sheets of large size notes and was liquidated on March 14, 1927. The note, with well stamped signatures, was acquired from K.P. Austin years ago in a complicated transaction and a heavy price at the time. PMG notes: tape repairs. Hettinger is the county seat of Adams County. The population was 1,226 at the 2010 census with a peak population of 1,769 reached in 1960. Hettinger was founded in 1907 along the Milwaukee Road's transcontinental rail line known as the Pacific Extension. The city and its surrounding township were named by popular demand in recognition of Hettinger County, from which Adams County was created in 1907. Located along in southwest North Dakota, Hettinger is only 4 miles from the SD border and 60 miles from Montana. Hettinger was named county seat in 1907, incorporated as a village in 1908, and became a city in 1916. The post office was established May 17, 1907 with Edward C. Barry as Postmaster. Ole Abelseth (1886-1980), one of the last living survivors of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, was a longtime resident of Hettinger. The community is home to the Adams County Fair.
