Which town in North Dakota was named after the wife of a Marquis?

The town of Medora in North Dakota was named after Medora von Hoffman, the wife of the Marquis de Mores, who was a prominent figure in the area during the late 19th century. The Marquis de Mores played a significant role in the region's development, particularly in the establishment of the cattle industry. Located near theodore Roosevelt National Park, Medora has a rich history connected to the early settlers and the cattle boom in the Badlands. This naming reflects the influence of European nobility on the American frontier and highlights the cultural heritage that shaped North Dakota during its formative years.

The other towns listed do not share this specific connection. Elkhart is not associated with a marquis's wife, Bismarck is named after the German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, and Minot was named after a railroad executive, thus missing the connection to nobility through marriage that Medora has.
