Bowesmont is a ghost town in Pembina County, North Dakota, United States. Bowesmont is located along a BNSF Railroad line near Interstate 29, 8.2miles north of Drayton.[1] The community was initially named Alma for Alma, Ontario in 1878; the name was changed to Bowesmont, for William Bowes, the town's first shopkeeper, six months later. According to legend, Bowes won the right to name the town in a card game.[2]
Bowesmont was devastated by the 1997 Red River flood. Only an old church and a small trucking outfit are left, with no residential area. An annual pilgrimage occurs every second Sunday of July where former residents meet in the church to commemorate the town.[3]
