Wheatland, ND

Wheatland is a census-designated place in Cass County, North Dakota, counted at 92 residents in the 2020 Census. Prairie Public's Dakota Datebook reports that Wheatland was a new village ten miles west of Casselton in 1878, beginning with a railroad sidetrack and two buildings. The account connects its name to wheat fields on bonanza farms and recalls a depot fire. Wheatland's history ties a Red River Valley settlement to rail transport and large-scale wheat farming.
