About this city
Also known as: Gateway to the International Peace Garden
Dunseith is an historic rural community located in Rolette County in north-central North Dakota, beautifully nestled right at the southern base of the lush Turtle Mountains. Originally established in the 1880s and named after a combination of Scottish Gaelic words meaning 'fort of peace,' the town sits dynamically on the US-Canada border corridor along the central flyway. Dunseith achieved enduring global recognition as the immediate american gateway to the International Peace Garden, a magnificent 2,300-acre park dedicated to world peace that straddles the boundary between the United States and Canada. The community presents a quiet, frontier atmosphere deeply connected to forestry, multi-national border commerce, and extensive outdoor trail recreation.
