Corinth, ND
Williams County
Inhabited as of 5/10
Corinth is a stellar near-ghost town, northwest of Minot. We were blown away by Corinth. Although one of the residents has taken over a portion of the town, Corinth is still fairly intact with lots of original buildings in time-worn condition.
Corinth was founded in 1916 and reportedly had a peak population of 108 around 1920, and although that figure began to dwindle almost immediately, the Post Office stayed open until 1969. Corinth was an unincorporated town and as a result, there are no reliable census figures to be found.
There are no businesses or services in Corinth, and population could be as low as two or three.

Awesome!! Corinth isn’t terribly far from where I live, but I’ve never been through there. Simply amazing pictures!
Beautiful, Sad, Photos. The North Dakota sky still is as beautiful as ever.
we would ride with my uncle to take grain to Corinth to the elevater
My parents still live there, counting them there are 6 people still living in town. The house my great grandparents built is still standing, but I fear not for very much longer. We were just out there tonight to visit. Can’t imagine living there anymore, but It’s great to bring my kids out there and let them run around. Thanks so much for the great pictures!
These pictures are so amazing – they could have been taken at Gardena, ND, 20 years ago. This is a small town 10 miles south of Bottineau. The schools are almost identical with the same playground equipment, although it was torn down years ago.
My mom was born in Corinth.
Was your mother a Kvale? Maybe Linda.
I grew up around towns like this (Orleans and Northcote, Minnesota, to mention two…) My own hometown is slowly becoming like this. So many memories, so many stories….
Great pictures,
I intend to go out there at some point this summer and do a photo shoot of just the town and with a model as well. Keep an eye out and I’ll post a new folder of pictures at some point on my creative capture imaging place!!!

I talked to the only couple that lives there now so there is only tw0 people that live there
I still live here, great place, quiet, great place for my husband, cats, grandkids and me!!!!
I grew up on a farm near Corinth, knew kids from there and went to high school with them in Wildrose. (The school in Corinth was closed by then, but the folks in town used to sponsor parties for the high school kids in the old schoolhouse there on Friday or Saturday nights. Great times!)
