This Adams County community was home to two national banks, both chartered a little later than most with the first in January 1908. They printed 7,295 sheets of large size notes and just six are reported. This note is evenly used with a tiny tip off the upper right corner and a tiny piece of tape on back. Excellent stamped signatures of A.G. Newman, President and J.F. Tracy, Vice President. PMG notes: corner damage, thinning. 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.
