Welcome to the Most Boring Town in North Dakota—Or Is It?

Look, I don't like to talk bad about any town in North Dakota; I know each town, big or small, has its own charm and a great community.

Sure, some North Dakota towns have small populations and fewer things to do, but that doesn't mean you can't love the crap out of those towns.

North Dakota's Most Boring Town

BestLife put together a list of the most boring towns in each state; you might be surprised to learn which North Dakota town was named the most boring.

Wishek was named the most boring town in our state. The source concluded this by looking at the median age, the number of restaurants and entertainment venues, and the overall population.

The source's thought process is that the fewer residents, entertainment options, the less exciting the town may be to its residents.

Here's what they found when it comes to Wishek:

Population: 839 (2022)

Average Age: 53.2

Number of Entertainment Spots: 3

Number of Hotels/Restaurants: 10

When you think about it, Wishek is an hour and forty minutes from Bismarck, nearly three hours from Fargo, and almost three and a half hours from Minot.

The town is pretty far from our biggest cities, so residents might not have quite the nightlife they might desire.
