About Zap

Zap is a quiet Mercer County town where life moves at a relaxed, friendly pace. It earned a spot in state history back in 1969 during the legendary "Zip to Zap," when a college prank brought thousands of spring breakers to its streets for an unforgettable weekend. These days, Zap is a peaceful community surrounded by rolling prairie, with close ties to the area's energy jobs and great fishing along the Knife River. If you are looking for affordable, small-town living with plenty of open space, Zap provides a comfortable place to settle down.
