From a review of the Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC Website, I found 1 Company headquartered in the US State of North Dakota with Stock Market Capitalizations either very late in 2016 or very early in 2017 of more than $1 Bil and 2 more with Stock Market Caps Between $100 Mil and $1 Bil.
