Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery was originally established in 1957 to provide fish for recreational fishing in new reservoirs created by federal water development projects in the Midwest. Today, the hatchery continues to provide management and production of many freshwater fishes for the Missouri River Dam development projects, National Wildlife Refuges, Native American waters, and state programs of North Dakota.

As many of the native fishes struggle with the changes in the Missouri aquatic ecosystems, the hatchery's role has changed to include maintaining migratory fishes, such as the paddlefish, and restoring endangered species, such as the pallid sturgeon.
