Judson LaMoure


Judson LaMoure was one of the first men to serve in the North Dakota state legislature; he served in the state Senate as a Republican. The state towns of Jud, Judson, and LaMoure along with LaMoure County were named after him.
Contrary to popular belief, the American author Louis L'Amour was of no relation to LaMoure despite both men being from North Dakota.
