North Yankton

The State of North Yankton is a state that appears in Grand Theft Auto V, being featured in the missions Prologue and Bury the Hatchet, and appears as a seasonal Survival mode setting in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the continuation of the Bottom Dollar Bounties update.

North Yankton may be based upon the state of North Dakota. Very little is known about the state; however, the small town of Ludendorff is located in the state, a city based on Fargo, North Dakota and Bismarck, North Dakota. The state's name is derived from the Yankton Tribe of the Sioux Native Americans. This is similar to how North Dakota is named after the Dakota Tribe of American Indians. The state itself may be named after Yankton, South Dakota, which was the capital of the Dakota Territory until it was split into the present day North and South Dakota. There is a South Yankton in Nebraska, right across the Missouri River from Yankton, South Dakota.
