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.[6] 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.[6]
