HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Newburgh School District No. 17 was organized on June 21, 1879 at a meeting in the township which was at that time a part of Traill County, N.D. It encompassed all of Newburgh Township except the bottom tier of sections that belonged to school district no. 8.
With the successful vote to establish Steele County in June 1883, the two tiers of townships on the western edge of Traill County joined with the two tiers of townships on the eastern edge of Griggs County to form the new county. In the newly established county the Newburgh School District became No. 1.
