Amenia, North Dakota

Amenia (/əˈmiːniə/ ə-MEE-nee-ə) is a city in Cass County, North Dakota, United States.

The town is the site of several transmitter towers of Fargo broadcast television and radio stations.

Amenia was the home of North Dakota governor William L. Guy before and after holding office.

The stockholders' plan had been to develop the land enough to sell it to settlers, thus quickly realizing a return on the investors shares.

However, taking notice of the success of the Cass-Cheney-Dalrymple bonanza farm near Casselton, North Dakota, and the exceptional fertility of the soil, Chaffee convinced the stockholders to hold the land and break the prairie sod for the production of wheat.

The company built a depot and, in 1881, a grain elevator in order to move their product to market.

By the mid-1880s, the town had grown enough to require school services and to build a Congregational church.

[5][6] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.43 square miles (3.70 km2), all land.
