New Leipzig, North Dakota 58562 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

The original town site called "Leipzig" was located eleven miles northeast of the present site of New Leipzig. This marker is located on the site of "Old Leipzig".



This inland town without a railroad began to be settled by immigrants in 1895. It was moved & renamed "New Leipzig" in 1910 when the Northern Pacific Railroad was built through this area.

Most of the settlers who moved to the new site were German-Russians, thus the name "Leipzig" after Leipzig, Germany, was used.

A bronze plaque now marks the original site of Leipzig, North Dakota. The plaque reads, "Original town site of Leipzig, North Dakota was located on these four corners". The plaque was erected in 1960 by the New Leipzig Commercial Club during the town's 50th anniversary.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
