Summary edit
| Description |
English: Looking south at the Veterans' Memorial in Nelson Park in Arnegard, North Dakota.
The memorial is made of a three-inch thick slab of polished black granite, standing on a circular base of concrete. A flagpole is in the concrete just behind the memorial. The memorial was intended to honor all branches of the U.S. armed services. It incorrectly lists the U.S. Marine Corps as a separate department (the Marine Corps is embedded within the Navy Department), and does not list the U.S. Coast Guard/Merchant Marine. The memorial was dedicated on July 1, 2005. A tradition exists in Arnegard of having all veterans in the town assemble in front of the memorial on the afternoon of Independence Day to be honored. Arnegard was founded in 1906 and is named for Evan Arnegard, the first homesteader in the area. Arnegard has never been big. The town was founded with about 100 people living there, and it reached its peak population of 254 souls in 1930. By 1990, the population was 122, and by 2000 it was just 105. Arnegard has seen a small uptick in population due to the 1990s oil boom (which is continuing). The U.S. Census estimates that the town had 135 residents as of 2012. |
