McHenry County, North Dakota

McHenry County sprawls across north-central North Dakota. Towner is the county seat. It’s tiny in terms of population. But it has a whole lot of character.
The Souris River snakes through the county. It’s prone to flooding now and then. Locals take it in stride. Velva, Upham, and Granville are other small towns.
The county has deep Scandinavian roots. You might spot lefse at church potlucks. Farmers grow wheat, barley, and canola. Honey production is big business too. If you’re looking for elbow room, McHenry County has plenty.
