Carbury is a ghost town and unincorporated community in Bottineau County in the U.S. State of North Dakota. It is located along North Dakota Highway 14 in the eastern part of the county, east of Souris, North Dakota. The town is virtually abandoned, and the 2000 Census did not record a population.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=United States Census Bureau )〕 The post office closed in 1984,〔 but the U.S. Postal Service has assigned it the same zip code of 58783 as nearby Souris.〔(Zip Code Lookup )〕 Carbury is also designated by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency as a port of entry between the United States and Canada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Port Of Entry-Carbury )〕 ==History== Carbury is named after the village of Carbury in County Kildare, Ireland. Founded in 1901 as a station on the Great Northern Railway, the post office first opened April 16, 1906. Though the town has been known as Carbury since its founding, it was originally intended to be named Roth, which is a town roughly to the west. However, due to a mixup by railroad officials or the Secretary of State, depending on who tells the story, the townsite names were accidentally switched when the wrong signs were posted.〔 The mistake was never corrected.〔 Carbury's original post office was assigned the zip code 58724.〔(U.S. Postal Service, Find a Postmaster )〕 The post office closed in 1984, and mail service was merged with Souris, North Dakota.〔 The town experienced a top population of 50 in 1920, which had dwindled to 5 by 1980.〔 Norwegian settlers from Polk County, Minnesota, established a settlement near Carbury in 1883, reportedly becoming the first Norwegians in Bottineau County. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carbury, North Dakota」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
