Carrington is located in the central eastern portion of North Dakota.
We are called the "Central City" because we are within a 150 mile radius from the
4 largest cities in North Dakota: Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks and Minot.
Carrington is a progressive mid-sized city of approximately 3000 residents.
We are the commercial center of Foster County. Our community has developed into an
active service center with over 150 businesses and professional services,
growing industrial park, great schools and health care.
Our rich agricultural heritage has made Carrington the safe and wholesome place that it is.
Carrington is great place to live, work and raise a family with low crime rates,
clean air, friendly neighbors, and an attractive environment.

CrossRoads 18 Hole Golf Course & Driving Range
The new CrossRoads 18 Hole Golf Course and Driving Range features
a scenic 5 mile recreational trail for walking, jogging, bike riding and
cross country skiing which connects into the city all the way up to the Carrington Area Park.


Summer is a great time to visit Carrington.
Our annual Roughrider Rodeo is held each June.
We have a great 4th of July celebration planned
complete with parade, picnic and fireworks!
And our annual "Pastafest" is held in August'''
