History

Cando was founded in 1884 as the seat of the newly formed Towner County. It was named from the pioneers’ “can do” spirit. The Great Northern Railway was extended to Cando in 1888.

Just west of Cando, Dunkers Colony was founded by settlers from Indiana in 1894. The settlement later changed its name to Zion, and all that is left today is a cemetery west of Cando.
