About

Lakota is a beautiful small town (population 780) located 60 miles west of Grand Forks, North Dakota and 25 miles east of Devils Lake, North Dakota at the junction of Highway 2 and Highway 1.  The success of Lakota and its hometown atmosphere lies in its residents.  We take pride in the appearance of our town which is evident as you drive through.

Not much more than 100 years ago, this area was a vast sea of waist-high prairie grass and roaming herds of buffalo.  Today the land is dotted with farms and you will undoubtedly notice a large variety of crops growing.  The buffalo are back as farm livestock and are now safely behind fences.  The farming community is important to our economy and to other small neighboring towns.
