This is the official Web site for the City of Rugby, North Dakota.
Rugby was founded in 1886 at a junction on the Great Northern Railway, where a spur to Bottineau met the main line. The railroad promoters initially named it the "Rugby Junction" for the famous railroad junction in Rugby in Warwickshire, England, in the hope of attracting English settlers. About 80% of the population is of North Germanic and Scandinavian ancestry. When the community became a city, the "Junction" was dropped from the name. Wikipedia
