==History==
The [[Dakota Territory]] legislature created the county (as Mountraille County) on January 4, 1873, with area annexed from [[Buffalo County, South Dakota|Buffalo County]]. The origin of its name came from Joseph Mountraille, a locally famed [[North American fur trade#Métis people|Metis voyageur]] and mail carrier from [[Pembina, North Dakota|Pembina]] under [[Norman Kittson#Fur trading|Norman Kittson's employment]].<ref>{{cite web |title=County History - North Dakota State Government - ND Portal |url=https://www.nd.gov/government/state-government/county-history |website=nd.gov |publisher=State of North Dakota |access-date=May 11, 2023}}</ref><ref name="earlyhistoryofnor00loun">{{cite book |last1=Lounsberry |first1=Clement A.

The new county lost territory in 1885 when a portion was annexed off to create Garfield County (now extinct). This situation continued until February 21, 1891, when Mountrail County was attached to Ward County, for "judicial and other purposes". The following year (November 8, 1892), the North Dakota legislature voted to dissolve the county and have its territory absorbed by Ward County.

An election held in Ward County on November 3, 1908, authorized the re-creation of Mountrail County, although with different boundaries than the previous county proposal. The countywide vote totals were 4207 to 4024, but the result was contested in court. On January 16, 1909, the state Supreme Court upheld the vote,<ref>{{cite court|litigants= State ex rel. McCue v. Blaisdell|vol=119|reporter=N.W.|opinion=360|court=N.D.|date=1909|url=https://cite.case.law/nd/18/31/}}</ref>
so the county government was organized on January 29 of that year.<ref name=dakota>{{cite web|url=http://historical-county.newberry.org/website/North_Dakota/documents/DAKs_Individual_County_Chronologies.htm|title=Dakota Territory, South Dakota, and North Dakota: Individual County Chronologies|access-date=February 25, 2019|last=Long|first=John H.|year=2006|work=Dakota Territory [[Atlas of Historical County Boundaries]]|publisher=The [[Newberry Library]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071111113432/http://historical-county.newberry.org/website/North_Dakota/documents/DAKs_Individual_County_Chronologies.htm|archive-date=November 11, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://historical-county.newberry.org/website/Dakota_Territory/viewer.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060811214832/http://historical-county.newberry.org/website/Dakota_Territory/viewer.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 11, 2006|title=Dakota Territory Historical Counties: Interactive Map|access-date=July 6, 2010|work=Atlas of Historical County Boundaries|publisher=The Newberry Library}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://historical-county.newberry.org/website/North_Dakota/viewer.htm|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20060811215218/http://historical-county.newberry.org/website/North_Dakota/viewer.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 11, 2006|title=North Dakota Historical Counties: Interactive Map|access-date=July 6, 2010|work=Atlas of Historical County Boundaries|publisher=The Newberry Library }}</ref>

Oil production from the [[Bakken formation]] in the early 21st century attracted workers and reversed decades of population decline in the county. From 2010 to 2015, especially, population markedly increased, creating its own strains.
