The post office opened in 1890 and closed in 1967, with mail service transferring to nearby Willow City.

A 1906 review by the North Dakota Department of Agriculture and Labor[5] indicated Omemee was the fourth largest town in Bottineau County.

In 1906, the town already boasted numerous businesses, including general stores, banks, hotels, a restaurant, school, opera house,[5] and a newspaper, the Omemee Herald.

Originally built by Barney and Smith Car Company, the railcar was previously owned by a former Soo Line Railroad employee, and was named Omemee in honor of the old rail station.

In the early 2000s, real estate developers began selling lots in Omemee to buyers in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Germany.

Some property owners complained to the North Dakota Attorney General's office, which found no misrepresentations to prosecute.

East of the town, undulations of the prairie rise often ten feet above the adjoining hollows.

The area reverted to Willow Vale Township,[4] which recorded a 2000 Census population of 34.
