Enderlin is a city in Cass and Ransom counties in the U.S. state of North Dakota. The population was 886 at the 2010 census.[1] Enderlin was founded in 1891.
Local folklore suggests the name is derived from the semi-German "End der Line" ("end of the line"), as the city was briefly the terminus of the Soo Line Railroad's main line through North Dakota.[4] Another explanation is that the name was suggested by the wife of a Soo Line official and comes from a fictional character in a book.[4]
Railway shipping remains an important part of the local economy, with the Soo Line, now a subsidiary of the Canadian Pacific Railway, continuing to operate a yard in the city. Another important part of the local economy is an ADM sunflower processing plant located several miles east of town.[5]
