Reader’s Digest recognizes Watford City as nicest in ND
WATFORD CITY – Watford City is featured in Reader’s Digest’s November issue as “Nicest Place in North Dakota.”
The third annual “Nicest Places in America,” a national crowd-sourced effort to uncover places where people are kind and treat each other with respect, identified one place in each state that exemplifies kindness and civility in a time of American divisiveness. Watford City was recognized for its friendliness during a population explosion, including after tragedy struck in the form of a tornado.
This year’s nationwide search received more than 1,000 submissions of stories of places across America where people are kind and civility is winning. From these submissions, Reader’s Digest editors and a panel of judges, selected the nicest place in each state. After a nationwide poll, which drew in over 45,000 votes, Reader’s Digest editors and judges, named Columbiana, Ohio, the “Nicest Place in America.”
