History. Medora was founded in 1883 along the transcontinental rail line of the Northern Pacific Railway by French nobleman Marquis de Mores, who named the city after his wife Medora von Hoffman. Marquis de Mores wanted to ship refrigerated meat to Chicago via the railroad.

Nice, and it begs the question, when did refrigeration happen ?

I know they had air conditioning back in the 30's. That is just from seeing a picture of a sign advertising it outside the theatre in Chicago where Dillinger was shot.

Medora is in the Bad Lands and is worth the stop if you get the chance. My wife has been down there for the last week. She was the artist in resident at the Von Hoffman house.

They still used ice in the 50's. My dad worked for the railroad and used to bring home blocks to use in the crank ice cream freezer.

I was in Bowman N.Dak in 1976 on wheat harvest. There was a jingle they played on the radio every 2 minutes that's still stuck in my head....
Oh Medora, sweet Medora, oh you have so much appeal.....
Oh Medora, sweet Medora, where the west kicks up it's heels!!!
