My North Dakota Diary
LaMoure County
'LaMoure County was named to perpetuate the memory and deeds of the most powerful individual
factor in the early development of the state, Hon. Judson LaMoure. The county lies in the second tier of
counties from the south, and is third from the east. The land is rich loam, practically all of which is
under cultivation. LaMoure county is considered one of the finest agricultural counties in the state. The
city of LaMoure is the county seat.' Source: North Dakota Blue Book -- 1942
