New Town is a city in Western North Dakota. It is situated on the shore of Lake Sakakawea and on the north end of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. It is a popular destination for tourists, mostly from within the state, who visit for fishing, boating, and gambling. The city became well known after the oil boom around 2006. As a result, many people came to the town for work, and there was a rapid development of trailers and vinyl houses. The town is a common jumping-off point for hunting and fishing.
