Joliette, North Dakota
Joliette is an unincorporated community located along Interstate 29 in Joliette Township in Pembina County in the U.S. state of North Dakota.[1] It was established in 1879 as a rural post office.[2] It was settled by French Canadians and named for Joliette, Quebec, the hometown of the town's first settler.[3][4] Even though it is unincorporated, the post office is sadly not operating anymore and shares the ZIP code of 58271 with the city of Pembina.[5]
Local agribusinesses are served by a BNSF rail line that extends from Grand Forks; however this line has been abandoned north of Joliette since 1980. Was a very populated in 90s but was almost abandoned completely.
