About Linton

Linton is a quiet, welcoming prairie town in south-central North Dakota with just over a thousand residents. As the seat of Emmons County, it serves as a friendly everyday hub for the surrounding area, offering grocery stores, local dining, healthcare services, and K-12 public schools. Sitting along U.S. Highway 83, the community offers peaceful rural living while keeping you roughly an hour south of Bismarck for bigger city shopping and travel connections.

Life here moves at an easy pace, backed by strong community roots and neighbors who genuinely look out for one another. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate having hunting, boating, and fishing right in their backyard, with Lake Oahe and the Missouri River just a short drive to the west. It is a safe, down-to-earth town that appeals to anyone looking for classic small-town comfort and wide-open country.
