Welcome to Edinburg, ND!

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 190 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!

CHECK OUT THE GUESTBOOK. WE ARE "UP AND RUNNING" WITH THE OLD ONE. PLEASE POST YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO READING IT.

Edinburg is a great place to live!


This Week's news

 

Wow, what a difference a couple of days make!! Today the temperature reached into the 70's. Windows are being opened and lawns are being thatched and mowed. Open air vehicles of all types are seen and heard on the streets of Edinburg. This is the most long awaited time of the year.

Please check out the "Attractions" page on the Edinburg Website. I have posted pictures from a few years ago of the graduating classes of 1947, 1948 and 1949. John Evenson was nice enough to submit these pictures with ALL the names of each person---both "maiden" and "married". I thank John SO much for doing this as I know he keeps very busy. He always tells me he is just overwhelmed with work, but tries to "wind-down" about Thursday of each week so he can enjoy the weekend. Thanks John--You are a classic and a wonderful person!

Life is good in Edinburg.

Just look at these 3 handsome fellows from the class of '61!! Left to right is Dave Folson, Jerry Hjelmstad and Ken Kadlec. They met in Ruidoso, NM and caught up on each other's lives over the last 50 years. You guys have aged wonderfully.

This is American Legion Post 156 out at Odalen on Memorial Day. The picture is grainy and dark. There were quite a few members of the firing squad back in the 1950's. I remember the Edinburg Community Band used to follow the Legion to the different cemeteries to play music before flags were placed on the graves of military veterans.


..4 wheelers..

There must have been some type of an organized "Mud Run" in the area last Saturday. I counted 31 various kinds of 4 wheelers on main street during the afternoon.
