The legislature for the Dakota Territory authorized the formation of Dickey County in 1881, naming it for one of their members, George H. Dickey. An organizing meeting was held on August 28, 1882 at Ellendale.

The county seat is Ellendale

Dickey County is located on the southern border of North Dakota and is comprised of 1152 square miles of land. The eastern part lies in the Drift Prairie, a green, hilly part of the state marked by good farm land and an abundance of water. Hwy 281 which runs north and south lies parallel to the hills which mark the beginning of the rolling Great Plains
