About Velva

Located along the Souris River about twenty minutes southeast of Minot, Velva offers a peaceful small-town pace with easy access to city conveniences. It is a close-knit community with its own K-12 school, quiet residential streets, and a proud local history. Snack fans might recognize the town as the birthplace of Dot’s Pretzels, which started in a home kitchen here before taking off nationwide. For buyers looking for a friendly, grounded neighborhood to call home, Velva hits a great balance.
