Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Sheyenne, ND

Sheyenne is a city in Eddy County, North Dakota, whose motto is "Proud To Be A Small Town," and it counted 186 residents in the 2020 census.

Sheyenne was founded in 1883 and takes its name from the nearby Sheyenne River, which was itself named for the Cheyenne people, with the first explorers' misspelling of "Cheyenne" as "Sheyenne" never corrected.

The first white settlers arrived with the Northern Pacific Railroad; the main track was laid on November 28, 1884, and railroad service to Sheyenne began on August 6, 1885.

The main townsite was obtained by Clarence E. Bennett in 1885 and came under the jurisdiction of J. W. Richter, who dedicated the townsite in 1892.

On December 7, 1894, a fire that began in the George Williams Livery Barn spread along Main Street, destroying the billiard room, the Westerlund Hotel, the Hugh Peoples General Store, and the post office, though the mail on hand was saved.

Sheyenne began publishing its first newspaper, The Sheyenne Star, in 1897, and the opening of its creamery on June 28, 1913 drew more than 2,000 people, with over 1,900 ice cream cones served.

During the Great Depression, Works Progress Administration workers built Warsing Dam on the outskirts of the city, and the dam's park with campsites remains a local recreation spot on the east end of town.

Sheyenne's Log Cabin Museum on Main Street is a pioneer museum housed in a cabin built in 1867 near Fort Totten and moved to Sheyenne in the 1970s; it displays Sheyenne Star newspapers, Native American artifacts, and clothing owned by silent film actor John Aasen, a Sheyenne native known as the "Norwegian Boy Giant."

Sheyenne won the North Dakota Community Betterment Award in 1977 for projects including street paving, tennis courts, townhouses, and a museum, and it celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2008.

The city lies in the Drift Prairie region of rolling hills and sloughs, in the Devils Lake Basin, and just south of the city runs the Laurentian Divide, which separates the watersheds of the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.
