Northeast North Dakota is a well-kept secret, especially the little town of Edinburg.  It sits on the edge of the fertile farmland of the Red River Valley and the prairies of the west.  Edinburg has a population of about 250 people with the drive, dreams and heart of cities 10 times its size.  Edinburg could be a "throw-back" to the 50's with its pristine cleanliness, manicured yards and well-kept homes, but it is most definitely planted in the 21st century with citizens who strive to keep Edinburg very much alive!

Here is a picture from times gone by.  It is taken in the old Johnson Food Store owned by Hoot and Iva.  John Evenson said the guys are Ronnie Ellingson, Curtis Mecham and "Sonny" Johnson.  John also informed me he has NEVER been wrong about anything so we can write these names in ink on this one!!!  This same store is now the "place to shop - Market on Main".

Some of the ladies residing at Borg.  On the right side of the table sits Verna Olson and Runa Sveen.

 

Another photo of the majestic cross erected at the site of Odalen church.

 

The Edinburg Fire Department erected flags and flag poles for the celebration.  They look so nice on Main Street.

OLD EDINBURG!  What a beautiful picture.  Mark Gire sent this picture of Edinburg.  He found it when going through some of his dads belongings after Lloyd's death.  He thinks it was taken about 1910.  It was a black and white photo that was hand-painted.  It has been reduced down in size so you viewers cannot read all of this information.  The church in the forefront is St Paul's Lutheran Church.  It stood where Beverley Hall lives today.  We have "picked out" Leroy and Louise Pederson's home plus what we think was Doc and Dorothy Flaten's home.  That is where Bonita Olson lives today.  Notice the "old" Trinity Lutheran Church and the wonderful old schoolhouse.  What a treasure this picture is.  Thank you Mark so much for sharing this with us.
 
 
 
  Edinburg has been named the "BIRD CAPITAL" of North Dakota. 
 
  Rendevousz Region Bird Club President, Janne Myrdal said the designation was not sanctioned by the state, but Governor Hoeven knew about it and wished Edinburg well.  The Edinburg City Council approved the naming. 
 
Bird watching has become quite a popular pastime in this area.  Janne hopes soon every yard in Edinburg will have bird houses and birdfeeders.
