Pierce County, North Dakota

Pierce County is right in the heart of North Dakota. Rugby (not the sport) is the geographical center of North America. There’s a monument there to prove it. This city anchors Pierce County.
The county has a bit of everything. Rolling prairies give way to forests and lakes. Ranching and farming are still big deals here. But tourism is growing too.
People come to see the Northern Lights Tower in Rugby. There are lots of lakes to enjoy here. Pierce County folks are proud of their heritage. They’re always ready with a warm welcome and a good story.
