Davis, one of Dickinson's earliest settlers, was born in 1859. He hunted buffalo, homesteaded, engaged in the lumber business, both here and at Billings, Mont., in 1885, and he organized several banks, as well as the Dickinson Building and Loan Association. McClusky is the county seat of Sheridan County; the population was 380 at the 2010 census. The town was founded in 1902 and named for William Henderson McClusky, a pioneer settler who came here from Winside, Nebraska. The post office was established February 16, 1903 with Sarah E. Southard as Postmaster. In the spring of 1905 the Northern Pacific Railroad purchased land nearby, and McClusky moved three miles east to the new location; Arthur Steinbrecker was the first Postmaster at the new townsite.

Thelen mayor. McClusky is located at the geographic center of North Dakota, earning it the nickname "Heart of North Dakota". John E.
