According to CBS News, Center, North Dakota, was revealed to have a bizarrely appropriate name in 2015. At first, it was likely named because it exists at the center of Oliver County. But it turned out that the people who named it were more correct than they realized.
That’s because Center is not only dead-center in that county but serves as the exact middle point of all of North America. That honor was once thought to belong to another North Dakota town named Rugby, but residents were relieved that it was still a fact about the state that otherwise has little to its name.
