Divide County North Dakota Genealogy and History Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy This Genealogy Trails website is available for adoption! If you are interested in becoming the County Host of this website, read our volunteer information page and email Kim. Until we get a dedicated volunteer to maintain this site, we'll do the best we can to add data as we come across it. You can send your family's raw data (birth/marriage/death, cemetery, census, biography records) to us and we'll include it on this site. We regret that we cannot perform any research for you. Divide County was formed from Williams County in 1910. The name Divide results from two factors, that division from Williams County and the fact that Divide County lies on the continental divide between the watersheds which flow into the Gulf of Mexico and those which flow into Hudson Bay. Divide's name may also derive from the fact that it lies on the boundary between the United States and Canada. Its county seat is Crosby.
