What it’s like

The place. Beulah is a small city in Mercer County, North Dakota, where the people tend to be younger than in much of the country. Winters are cold, with January days that stay well below freezing and nights colder still, while August brings warm, hot afternoons. Precipitation is on the light side, falling as a mix of rain and melted snow through the year. Homes here cost less than in much of the country.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by transport, warehouses and utilities, and then shops. Some work in farming, forestry and mining. Among the largest workplaces across Mercer County are Dakota Gasification Company, Beulah Community Nursing Home and Beulah 27 Schools. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than across the country, and unemployment in the county has eased compared with a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.

Things to do. Spring Creek runs in or beside town, a river close to home for a walk along its banks. A longer drive away, Lake Sakakawea is a large reservoir, and Fort Stevenson State Park is a protected area on its shores. Also a longer drive away, Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site is an archaeological site that preserves the history of the people who lived along the river long ago.
