About Tower City

Tower City got its start in the late 1870s as a railroad stop surrounded by rich North Dakota farmland on the border of Cass and Barnes counties. Early founders had ambitious plans for major colleges and cross-state rail lines, but the town ultimately found its stride as a quiet, grounded prairie community. Sitting right along Interstate 94, it provides plenty of open space, affordable small-town living, and a straight shot into Fargo or Valley City for work and shopping.

Daily life centers around Maple Valley School, which educates local students in a K-12 building right in town. Neighbors regularly cross paths at youth sporting events, local gatherings, and the annual North Dakota State Horse Pull, a favorite summer tradition celebrating the area's agricultural heritage. With its quiet streets, friendly neighbors, and peaceful rural setting, Tower City offers an easygoing place to call home.
