Here is a lovely $10 Type 1 with excellent color and body that is new to the census. It is a different type and serial number than this only note listed, which is a VG 20. Ultra rare and very desirable. Printed signatures of A.A. Yonker, President and Clifford Joseph Ehlers, Cashier. Garrison, located in McLean County, was named for nearby Garrison Creek, which had been named in 1864 to note the troops of Fort Berthold garrisoned on its banks. The population was 1,453 at the 2010 census; a peak population of 1,890 was reached in 1950. Garrison is located on the north side of Lake Sakakawea, the lake formed by the Garrison Dam, which was named after the town. Garrison was founded in 1905 by brothers Theodore and Cecil Taylor. Theodore was a rancher in nearby Montrail County, and later Sheriff of Burleigh County. The post office was established June 17, 1903 and the community organized as a village in 1907. When the Soo Line ran its tracks farther north, the town moved to its present location. The original site, called Old Garrison after 1905, is now inundated by Lake Sakakawea. It was organized as a city March 20, 1916. Garrison is known as the Walleye Capital of the World and, as such, is home to Wally the Walleye, a 26 foot sculpture located at the end of Main Street in the City Park.
