Richland County is the home of Wyndmere and its national bank that was chartered in March 1904. They issued 2,622 sheets of Red and Blue Seals before being placed into liquidation on June 10, 1927. There are three large notes reported from this charter and all are Blue Seals. This evenly circulated note is the only Date Back. Excellent pen signatures of Wm. H. Morrill, Vice President and J. McGann, Cashier. The trim at the bottom could be broader. Wyndmere is located in Richland County and is part of the Wahpeton metro area. The population was 429 at the 2010 census. The community was founded in 1883 and named for Windermere Lake, England, whose name is derived from wynd, or narrow lane, and mere, a pool or lake. The post office was established January 7, 1884 with William F. Hilliard as Postmaster. The Soo Line Railroad crossed the Northern Pacific Railroad tracks near here in 1888, and a place called East Wyndmere began to develop by 1899. The following year most Wyndmere buildings were moved to the new site, which adopted the old name and incorporated as a village in 1902, becoming a city in 1959 with Edwin L. Anderson as mayor. The city, known as the 'Corn Capital of North Dakota', reached a peak population of 644 in 1960.
