What it’s like
The place. Langdon is a small city and the seat of Cavalier County, in the northeast of North Dakota. Its residents are older than in most American towns, and most households own the home they live in. Winters are very cold and snowy, summers are mild to warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, on farms, or in government. Among the largest workplaces in Langdon are Cavalier County Memorial Hospital, Langdon Area 23 Schools and Leevers Langdon. Most people have a short drive to work, and unemployment across Cavalier County is low and has come down over the past year.
Things to do. Close to town, the Tongue River and the Cavalier County Museum are both a short drive away. Farther out, Icelandic State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and Frost Fire Ski and Snow Board Area, also a longer drive away, suits the snowy winters.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Cavalier County.
