Jamestown is a small city in Stutsman County, North Dakota. It covers 12.5 sq mi (32.4 sq km) and has a population of 15,500 people (2011 estimate). The city is located at the confluence of the James River and the Pipestem Creek, about 1,407 ft (429 m) above sea level.

Jamestown was founded in 1872 when the US Army built Fort Seward in the area. The fort was erected to protect the Northern Pacific Railroad which was built across the James River. After the fort was decommissioned, the town continued to grow. In the early days, it depended on the railway as a mainstay of its economy, as the railway repair yard was located there.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
