Today, with the Bakken oil formation, Williston is home to hardworking residents making North Dakota the nation's second largest oil-producing state.
While population growth in the area has started to normalize, the City of Williston experienced explosive growth over the past several years due to increased activity in the oil and gas industry. The City has grown 210% in size since 2010, jumping from a population of 12,120 to 29,160 as of the 2020 Census.
