Editing Sheyenne, North Dakota (section)

===1914–present===
The Sheyenne area progressed through [[World War I]] and the [[1918 flu pandemic|1918 influenza epidemic]]. A shock to the area came in the 1930s with the [[Great Depression]], when the main industry of the area, [[agriculture]], was threatened severely. Poor crop prices influenced Sheyenne's economy and the [[Works Progress Administration|WPA]] was crucial to the life of Sheyenne. It created a park on the south side of Sheyenne that is now owned by the [[VFW]], it restored the town jail, and its workers built Warsing Dam on the outskirts of the city.
In the 1940s numerous residents fought in [[World War II]], and the ''Sheyenne Star'' ceased publication.
In 1955, the second irrigation experimental farm in North Dakota was planned on the land of Bruce Larson, while a major concern of the late 1950s was the high [[nitrate]] condition in the wells of Sheyenne. The problem was solved by the [[Northern Pacific Railway Company]] donating their well to the City of Sheyenne.
A major event in the 1960s was the opening of the Tastee-Freez, a fast food and ice cream restaurant, in the building previously occupied by the city's fire department.
Community betterment was the highlight of the 1970s in Sheyenne, when projects such as street paving, [[tennis]] courts, townhouses, a museum, and main street revitalization were finished. In 1977 Sheyenne won the North Dakota Community Betterment Award for its work on its projects.

Sheyenne celebrated its 125th with a demo-derby, BBQ dinner, parade, school reunion, fireworks, and a children's theater production, put on by the S.T.A.R.S.
