This new bank and title appears to have been only a slight variation from the time the old bank closed, new capital was added and the new charter formed. There are only 30 small size notes reported, with this being the only $20 Type 2 known. The new officers were L. Almkloo, President and R.A. Hammer, Cashier. Cooperstown, located in east central North Dakota near the Sheyenne River Valley, is the county seat of Griggs County. The population was 984 at the 2010 census, with a peak of 1,485 in 1970. The community was named for bonanza farmer Rollin C. Cooper and his brother Thomas, who had come to North Dakota in 1880 after some successful mining ventures in Colorado. The site was platted in October 1882, and the post office was established December 28, 1882 with George W. Barnard as Postmaster. Cooperstown was incorporated as a village in 1892 and as a city in 1906. Cooperstown became the county seat November 7, 1882 after a bitter fight with Hope. The Northern Pacific Railroad reached here in 1883. Edwin Reiten founded the well-known plow manufacturing firm here in 1937.
