World's Largest Buffalo is a sculpture of an American Bison located in Jamestown, North Dakota, United States, at the Frontier Village.
The statue is a significant tourist draw for Jamestown and the source of its nickname, The Buffalo City.
Named Frontier Village, the project has grown over the years to encompass several acres (hectares) with a complex of buildings and other attractions, including the National Buffalo Museum.
[5] In June 2007, the city of Jamestown received a grant of $16,500 from Hampton Hotels' Save-A-Landmark program to refurbish the buffalo.
[6] On July 24, 2010, the World's Largest Buffalo was named "Dakota Thunder", after a contest that drew more than 3,500 entries.
