Wishek

Built around the arrival of the railroad in 1898, Wishek grew into a small service town on the prairie of south-central North Dakota. It lies in McIntosh County, amid the broad agricultural country of the Great Plains, where grain fields and open horizons define the setting. The community is closely associated with German-Russian heritage, reflected in its long-running Sauerkraut Day celebration, first held in 1928. Local businesses, schools and civic institutions serve the surrounding rural area, giving the town an active role beyond its modest scale.
