The Sarles–Crystal City Border Crossing connects the towns of Sarles, North Dakota and Crystal City, Manitoba on the Canada–US border. Like many North Dakota prairie towns, Sarles has seen a steady decline in population over the past century, due primarily to the increasing obsolescence of the family farm. In 1920, Sarles had a population of 348, but by 2010, only 28 residents remained.[1]
The Canada border station at Crystal City was built in 1955.[2] In 1961, the US built the Sarles border station in the median of the roadway. In 2012, this facility was replaced with a large modern border station. In 2014, the Sarles Port of Entry processed an average of 10 passenger cars and 3 trucks per day.
