Alexander, located in McKenzie County in western North Dakota, USA, is a small city with a population of about 300. It is situated in the Missouri Plateau region, about 130 kilometers from Bismarck, the largest city in the state, and is surrounded by a vast prairie and agricultural landscape. Incorporated in 1905, the city was named after Alexander McKenzie, an early railroad developer, and reflects historical traces of North Dakota's pioneering days.
Located in a semi-arid climate zone, Alexander City's economy is centered on agriculture and animal husbandry, with wheat, barley, and other crops grown. The surrounding area is rich in petroleum resources, and in recent years the energy industry has provided opportunities for growth. Although the city is small, it has basic community amenities such as schools and churches, and its proximity to the Missouri River and Theodore Roosevelt National Park attracts a small number of outdoor enthusiasts who want to explore the area.
As a quintessential Midwestern town, Alexandria is characterized by strong community ties and a peaceful living environment. Annual local events such as the Agricultural Fair reflect traditional rural culture. Despite its limited size, it remains one of the key settlements in rural western North Dakota.
