The First National Bank of Streeter was organized on March 27, 1915 and it issued 2,991 sheets of 1902 Plain Backs only before being liquidated on October 2, 1926. This note is evenly circulated and has a nice appearance for the grade. The bank officers signatures are stamped but clear with F.S. Graham, President in purple and W.E. Barringer, Cashier in black. The note is unique and likely to remain that way. Streeter is located in Stutsman County; the population was 170 at the 2010 census and a peak population of 711 was reported in 1930. This Northern Pacific Railroad station was founded in 1905 as the terminus of its branch line from Edgeley and was named for Col. Darwin Reed Streeter (1848-1918), the editor of the Emmons County Record at Linton. The post office was established March 2, 1906 with Alex Anderson as Postmaster, replacing the rural post office of Bloomenfield. The village incorporated in 1916, and it became a city in 1950 with Oscar Seher as mayor. The town experienced a severe fire on January 12, 1911, which destroyed the city's bank, two general stores, and a drug store. The city is at one end of what is considered the straightest road in America, with the other end being Hickson, North Dakota. North Dakota Highway 46 stretches across 123 miles of North Dakota from Hwy 30 in the west to a nameless county blacktop just past I-29 in the east.
