Hannah Junction is a small, quiet place in Grand Forks County, North Dakota, in the United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it does not have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it is part of the larger county.

Discovering Hannah Junction

Hannah Junction is a unique spot in North Dakota. It is not a big city, but it plays a small role in the area's history and transportation.

Where is Hannah Junction?

Hannah Junction is found in the northeastern part of North Dakota. It is about 2.3 miles (or 3.7 kilometers) northwest of a town called Larimore. This location places it in a mostly rural area.

The Railroad Connection

A very important feature of Hannah Junction is its connection to the BNSF Railway line. Railroads were, and still are, vital for moving goods and people across the country. Hannah Junction's name likely comes from its position where different railway lines might have met or crossed. This made it a "junction" point for trains.
