Medora, founded in 1883 by The Marquis de Mores, has been the county seat since 1886. Area 1151 square miles. 2000 population -- 888. Home of the Badlands and Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Theodore Roosevelt hunted buffalo and ranched near Medora in the 1880s. His experience left an indelible mark.
