Crime Scene and Trauma Cleanup in Kenmare, ND

Kenmare is a city in Ward County, North Dakota, and part of the Minot metropolitan area, with the 2020 census counting 961 residents.

Kenmare was platted in 1897 and most likely named after Kenmare in Ireland, and the village of Kenmare was incorporated in December 1901.

Kenmare's ZIP code is 58746, and the city sits on U.S. Route 52 and North Dakota Highway 28 in northwestern North Dakota.

The 2010 census counted 1,096 people and 480 households in Kenmare, and the city's population peaked at 1,712 in the 1950 census.

Kenmare's most famous landmark is its Danish Mill, built in 1902 by Danish immigrant Christian C. Jensen on his homestead eleven miles north of town to grind grain into flour.

The Danish Mill operated until 1918, was moved into Kenmare in 1958, restored in 1961, and moved to its present spot in the downtown Park Square in 1965.

The Danish Mill is one of only three Danish mills in the United States, the others being in Elk Horn, Iowa and Solvang, California, and it is the only mill of its kind in North Dakota.

In January 2019 an arson fire nearly destroyed the Danish Mill, and the landmark was repaired and restored within about eight months.

Kenmare's school teams are the Honkers, and about 350 students attend grades K through 12 in the Kenmare Public School.

Since 1945, graduating classes of Kenmare High School have painted their class year in large rocks on the hillsides south of town, a tradition known as the Kenmare High School Rocks.
