There’s a little town out in Richland County, North Dakota that is something special. You may have never heard of it, but it deserves some attention for its great community, beautiful sights, and fascinating history. It is the picture perfect example of a great ND small town – and you’ll fall in love with it. Here’s why:
This little town is called Abercrombie, North Dakota, and last year it was fittingly titled the state’s Town of the Year by KVRR. It is located right alongside the scenic Red River of the North.

The town has a population of just 263 residents and a community that loves it. There has never been many more or less people living here throughout the past century. It is right in that sweet spot of a tiny town with a lot of heart. It was founded in 1884.

One of the main outside draws to Abercrombie is the Fort Abercrombie State Historic Site, located right within town and on the banks of the river.

Have you ever heard of Abercrombie before? Pictures are worth a thousand words but an actual visit is worth the memories! North Dakota has a rather hefty list of these kind of special cities, and no matter how small they are, they all have their unique factors. A great example is the “city of murals,” a tiny town of only 72, that has a claim to fame no other place can say they have.
