About Marmarth

Set along a scenic bend of the Little Missouri River, Marmarth sits in the rugged badlands of southwestern North Dakota, just a short drive from the Montana border. While it started in the early 1900s as a bustling railroad division point, today it is a quiet, close-knit town of around a hundred residents who appreciate wide-open space, low-stress living, and friendly neighbors.
