This is a $5 Type 2 sheet (#793-798) that has been folded between the notes. The census indicates 20 small notes reported but no sheets. This sheet was not listed and four of the other five are three #1 Type 1s and one Type 2. This not being a #1 Type 1 should keep the price within reality for more collectors. There are few uncut sheets of North Dakota National Bank Notes and this is a nice quality $5 Type 2 sheet. There were only 828 notes printed of the type. Printed signatures of M.H. Hanson, President and W.J. McMenamy, Cashier. Thompson, in Grand Forks County, is part of the Grand Forks metro area. The population was 986 at the 2010 census. Settlers were here as early as 1874, and the Great Northern Railroad station built here in 1879 was named for townsite owner George Norton. When a post office application was submitted December 14, 1880, postal officials rejected Norton because of possible confusion with Norton, Minnesota. The post office was established January 26, 1881 with Albert Thompson as Postmaster, who renamed it for himself and his brother, Robert. Thompson was incorporated as a village in 1923, and the population has continued to rise as the city attracts residents who work in nearby Grand Forks, but prefer to live in a smaller town.
