Unincorporated community in North Dakota, United States
Nanson is an unincorporated community in Rolette County, in the U.S. state of North Dakota.[1]
History
Nanson was laid out in 1905.[2] A post office was established at Nanson in 1905, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1982.[3] The community was named for Fridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian scientist and explorer.[2] By the 1960s, the town had withered to just a handful of residents, and by the 1990s, it was completely abandoned. Today, only a few abandoned homes and outbuildings remain.[4]
